I finally got to filling out my course lotteries today. These are not final decisions. The actual bids aren't due until July 7th, so I have a bit of time to mull over my selections. But here's my first draft:
1. Comparative Constitutional Law (with very famous prof who just came to my law school)
2. Empirical Studies of Economic Transformations (Seminar with strong emphasis on research paper writing with a very famous and very popular female prof)
3. Comparative Law: Globalization of Law in Historical Perspective (with super-famous genius prof)
4. Comparative Law: The Role of Law in Chinese Society (co-taught by 2 profs. This is kind of an impulse selection for me. Have never been interested in Chinese law, but... why not? right?)
5. Citizenship: Seminar (with semi-famous prof who was JUST snatched up by my law school from another famous law school. After the immigration appeals I'm doing this summer it should be pretty interesting.)
6. Bankruptcy (same prof as #2 - but a large lecture course.)
7. Intellectual Property Theory: Reading Group (Reading groups are only 1 credit, and no exams. It's all pass/fail. I know nothing about IP, but the prof is supposedly brilliant.)
8. Personal Values and Professional Character: Reading Group (This is co-taught by my super-annoying contracts prof and another person. I'm not sure about this one, but I sure care about "personal values" :) )
9. Law and Economics: Seminar (This is co-taught by the two law and econ gurus at the school. I used to be very excited about this seminar, but now I'm no longer so sure. Law and econ is powerful, but seems kind of cliched. Behavior law and econ seems to be the new thing. So.. I don't know.)
10. Immigration Law (Same prof as #5, but large lecture so I put it more towards the end.)
11. Political Economy of Modern Capitalism: Seminar (taught by my likeable civ pro prof and another person. Have my doubts about this, but may be worth it just so I can get to know her better.)
12. Theory Workshop (This is a yearlong seminar also taught by my civ pro prof. Also have my doubts about this. I heard that it's all about Marxism.)
13. Criminal Procedure: Advanced (I have no idea who this prof is. But this summer has definitely gotten me interested in crim law.)
14 Taxation: Current Issues in Tax Law: Seminar (yes, yes, I know I hated tax. And this is even taught by my tax prof from last semester, whom I also didn't like that much. Which is why I didn't rank this in the top 10. This IS a seminar, and perhaps that prof is better in small groups? Also, my tax course has got to be good for SOMETHING. Please God please...)
And finally...:
15. Moral Order and the Irrational: Readings in Nietzsche and Freud: Seminar (Don't ask. I don't know why either.)
