Message from Hernan

“One of the most challenging things about pursuing a law degree is the all-or-nothing approach of the curriculum. When a single exams or assignment is worth 100% of their grade, students often feel unsure about themselves. My classes are focused on providing students with the tools and techniques to both understand the fundamentals and engage with the law on a deeper level. “
