Really nice prof! She is so willing to provide you with help and suggestions for assignments during OH, and she responses email timely. She even provided extra credit to help you enhance your grade!! Really love her lectures and appreciate her support thought the quarter, and definitely will take her other classes if possible!!!

Professor G is the G. She's super clear about what she wants on your assignments, and if you go to office hours with a rough draft she'll tell you exactly what you need to change to get an A. She's also very knowledgable about law school, and the legal practice, so if you're interested in any of that it'll be an even better experience for you!

Dr. Genova is the most sweetest and caring person I've met! She is a tough grader and makes you work for that A but it's definitely rewarding if you go to office hours and review the assignment with her. She's a great person to ask for a LOR and truly cares for her student. The best professor I've had at UCSB.

Genova is the singular best professor I have had at UCSB. Period. She is so passionate about her work, she cares about her students and is always there if you need help. Will go out of her way to accommodate if you just communicate with her. She makes you work for the A but it is so rewarding when you score well. Prepared me so well for law school

She is such a passionate and fun professor! Harsh grader but really gives productive feedback and wants us to succeed. Super accessible outside of class and wants her students to have the opportunity to experience "law school" without having to pay 50,0000000000 dollars. There's a lot of work, but it's all manageable, class teaches you what to do.

She is an amazing professor and I highly recommend this class if you're seriously considering law school! She is a tough grader but it's not a hard class if you are very through when doing your papers! Definitely wouldn't miss class, every lecture is important to know what to do in each assignment!
