Reviews of professor David Blankfein-Tabachnick

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
A student first professor. DBT is amazing. For both Property Law my 1L year and Tax Law my 3L year he was an absolute stand out orator. He emphasizes theory and prefers substance over form on his exams. Additionally, DBT served as a guidepost for me when graduating, sitting for the bar and beginning my legal career.

I had Professor DBT for Property and Trusts & Estates. He is one of my favorite professors ever! Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable, but he cares about his students inside and outside of the classroom. His classes are lecture based, but he welcomes questions. He really does go above and beyond for his students. MSU Law is lucky to have him!

The best law professor I have had. He is very organized. His instruction is clear. Does not hide the ball. You will know exactly what the law is and the important implications of the law. He leads engaging discussions on the wider philosophy of the particular subject being discussed. His lecture outlines are very helpful.

Professor DBT is a phenomenal instructor. He shows up to class every day with an energy and enthusiasm to teach that can only come from a true passion for property law and economics. This energy, along with his sarcastic sense of humor, managed to make this subject not only bearable but dare I say, entertaining!

MSU is incredibly fortunate to have DBT in its ranks. He is one of the best lecturers, and he makes the material incredibly clear. He often analyzes the law from a wider angle, discussing rationale, reasoning, and implications of the law. The discussions he leads are both entertaining and educational.

I am impressed by Professor DBT's amazing lectures, passion for teaching, and genuine care for his students success. Specifically, he took what was a very difficult, dense, and at times boring subject matter and breathed life into it. I feel confident to address the Wills and Trust section in the bar exam because of his excellent teaching!
