Teacher's Pet

After my final today, the school had a school-wide "Twilight Breakfast," where many of our favorite professors served us breakfast for dinner. Most of the professors who were there were the student-favorites, the good professors who go above and beyond both in the classroom and outside (hence the volunteering to serve us wearing silly aprons and chefs hats).

I realized that this semester has generally been an enjoyable semester because I liked the subject material of the classes I chose. However, another significant factor was the teachers that I had. I would say that 4 out of 5 professors were amazing, people who loved teaching and made going to class everyday interesting and entertaining (yes, even tax). The 5th was nice but was too overextended to be effective.

My friends and I talk a lot about the characteristics that we like and dislike about the professors we have had (organization and cares about students are tied for first for me). And that's how I pick professors now. Law school goes by too quickly, and costs too much, to have bad professors. My seemingly obvious words of wisdom for my 1L and aspiring law student friends.
