I love Prof. Kahn! I've taken 3 classes with him & he advised my honors project, and I can't say enough great things about him. Although he can be a bit scatterbrained, he is a brilliant legal thinker and a very good advisor. If you find his class confusing, def. stop by office hours...he is helpful and even more hilarious in person than in class.

I really liked Professor Kahn. He is very friendly and willing to help. He can be confusing though. He rambles a lot, but he brings up very interesting points of view. I would take another class with him.

Tough teacher, and sometimes the material can be dry, but he's incredibly smart and always willing to talk to you about your work.

He could've explained things more -- he taught by dropping us straight into the Court and letting us pick it up along the way. There is a lot of *assigned* reading, but itt isn't hard once you realize you can skim the reading, note what's there, and come back to it for the paper.

I love professor Kahn. Assigns an average amount of work. Is hysterical. Warning, though -- his train of thought can be, uh, derailed sometimes, so if you're just trying to get SS credits, I'd take a class with another professor. He's my favorite politics prof, though. You'll LOVE what he teaches if you're into the subject.
