-Finding professors who care about my personal development
as a law student, about my engagement with the law,
has made all the difference.
-When I go to class, I know that I
am going to learn what I need to,
and even if I'm confused about something, that I can always
approach one of my professors.
-While students come here to get a legal education,
they often have the opportunity to work
at a very deep level with academics
who are working on very sophisticated projects that
transcend law.

and you realize that it's not a new legal issue
in legal academia, you'll find that at UFT, somebody
is working on it and somebody is studying it.

refers me to another professor in the faculty
who also knows about it and who can refer me

able to sit in class with a professor that can tell you
about what it was like and what the real issues are.
