About the Course

Whether you are an advanced law student looking to review the basics, or an aspiring law student looking for head start, this course will help you build the foundation you will need to succeed in law school and beyond. This course will introduce you to terminology, concepts, and tools lawyers and legal academics use to make their arguments. It will help you follow these arguments—and make arguments of your own. This course consists of a series of short lectures and assignments. A reading list complements each lesson, providing you with a roadmap to help you explore the subject matter more deeply on your own. Although the lessons may cross-reference each other, they are modular in nature: you should feel free to approach them in whatever order fits your schedule, interests, and needs....

I enjoyed this course but you really need to have some legal background to get the most out of it. The assignments were worth the time they took and I learned a lot trying to grade my fellow students.

The course was very helpful but with a lot of hint with American law in it. Which might not be as effective as it could be to students from other countries

The course was beneficial to me and I learned a lot of new things. I took one star because of the assessment of students who are too poorly evaluated.

Excellent course that covers a *lot* of material. The amount of reading far exceeded the estimated reading time of 10 minutes in almost all cases.

Fantastic course, but an estimated 10 minutes to read one or two law review articles is really unrealistic.

Since this course handles difficult context, it may be little bit hard to one who studies law first time.

Great course. Just a note, The course needs a lot more than 5 hours per week if you do all the readings

Simple and well explained, but perhaps more information should be put on slides behind the lecturer.

A broad overview, well communicated though, and the readings are useful for future reference.
