An introduction to some of the main issues generated by the philosophical question, "What is law?" In what sense is conduct made obligatory by the existence of law? What, if any, is the relationship between law and morals? What are rules? What does it mean to say that a rule exists? Do courts really apply rules or merely pretend to do so?

Very kind and funny professor. Lectures were very fun to attend. Reading was sometimes confusing but like another comment said, ended up doing better in the class than originally thought. Exams are very fair.

He is such a fun professor. His lectures are informative and I like to sit back and just listen to him. He has a super organized class, you know exactly what you will be doing. I really liked this course and highly recommend people to give him a chance. There is not a lot of homework!

He's a great lecturer, but he's hyper-fixated on making life difficult for students by removing quizzes before exams and hiding resources, and overall making petty choices that can at times overshadow his passion for the subjects he teaches. I genuinely enjoy his class, but his outdated 'let me make life difficult for you' attitude gets old quick.

Great lecturer, don't fall behind on the readings. The whole time I was convinced I was going to get a B despite working my hardest but I actually got an A. Responds to emails in a timely manner, I will take him again for Phil 130. You can't go wrong with him!
