Very informative and basic knowledge of the American Legal system, a ‘bit’ different from the Code Napoleon. I enjoyed learning your course, which I highly recommend.

Professor Ian is one of the best professors ever! He teaches all tiers of learning abilities. It would be safe to postulate that we would welcome more courses from him!
