Reviews of professor Jean-Simon Schoenholz

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
His lectures are pretty boring and he reads right out of the book, so it can get rough. Attendance os mandatory. But his assignments are super interesting and he is so nice. Provides clear guidelines of what he expects as assignments and is makes himself available for questions. Def would take again. Just have to be prepared for the dullness.

Second time taking with him and as usual, easy A. Not the most exciting in the world but that's just his personality. Super fair at marking, extremely lenient and adjustable, will go over things again to make sure you understand, and never gives out the unnecessary workload. Also known amongst the students as "Baby Trudeau" due to the resemblance.

Jean-Simon helped me understand concepts that I've been learning since first year but hadn't quite clicked for me yet. I think it's a combination of his own understanding and an ability to explain things simply. However, he favours jurisprudence over legal theory, meaning we look at what judges say but ignore the social issues they don't talk about

Professor Schoenholz is a great professor, he kept everything as practical as it could be and there wasn't much theory in his class which I really liked. If you have his class for 2601 make sure to do all the readings, even the extra journal articles he assigns, since knowing them well will be needed to excel in the exam.

I got through his International law through my own work ALONE, his lectures are dry and barely scratch the topic he grades in tests. His class is forgettable yet not recommendable, if you enjoy international law you can get through it, if not good luck.
