Meilleurs avis pour CHEMERINSKY ON CONSTITUTIONAL LAW - THE STRUCTURE OF GOVERNMENT
par SF9 avr. 2020
Chermerinsky's classes were the best that I have taken. Very interactive and the fellow students really participated which made the class worth attending.
par NN18 janv. 2022
while this is a good course, if your are a middle/high school student the assignments will be very difficult and the lectures will be hard to understand.
par SC18 nov. 2017
My only regret regrading this course is that the discussion about Bill of Rights is not the part of the same session. Other than that, it's been superb.
par BP19 sept. 2018
See my notes from part 2 of this course. Excellent course from a very experienced attorney and professor.
