Professor Moore is the best person ever. She is very entertaining and enthusiastic. She really cares about her students and helps you learn everything you need during class so hardly any outside of class time is necessary. Don't buy the textbook you don't need it. Everyone should take this class before they graduate because Professor Moore is just that awesome.

Wow Sherri Moore is an amazing professor, take this class just for her! Out of my three semesters of college, she has been one of the best professors. This class is a great introduction to the legal system, and some of the material could get boring, but Sherri explains it with such clear, relatable (& funny!) examples, that is easy to understand.

There is no required textbook (Don't buy it!) Just make sure you take great in-class notes and always attend lecture! Write down everything she says, especially if she says something is important! There is no homework, but there are weekly 10 question clicker quizzes. (They're not too bad as long as you review your notes before class, and she drops the lowest one) There are two Multiple choice midterms worth 15%, quizzes are worth 20% total, and a cumulative final worth 50%. There is a TON of information, but Professor Moore allows students to create your own cheat sheet and bring it to the exam, so you can type in a really small font all the important details from your notes and you should be fine. Overall, not too hard to get an A if you put in a good effort, but if you skip class, don't take good notes, or don't create good cheat sheets, it can be hard because there is a TON of information. A lot of my pre-law friends loved this class as well. (I'm a pre-commerce 2nd year btw)

In summary: Take the class, Moore is amazing, material is interesting/relevant/good to know whatever your career field may be, but make sure you take good notes.

I highly recommend this class to everyone, regardless of your major. Prof. Moore does an incredible job of making the material interesting and applicable to a college student (Example: how to not get arrested for underage drinking). You do have to take a lot of notes during class and make sure they are good notes, but like everyone else said, there is no need to buy the book. The tests are very straightforward, but you really have to understand the material to pull of a solid A because some of the questions are tricky. Nonetheless this class is a worthwhile introduction to the American legal system (with an emphasis on business law) that everyone should learn.

Sherri Moore is a fantastic professor, one of the best at the university. This course is quite interesting, and it is a requirement for the Comm School. Three exams (including a cumulative final) make up the bulk of the grade, as well as weekly five question quizzes that are pretty simple so long as you aren't snoozing through class. One thing that this course does require of you is diligent note taking, because all of the exams are based ENTIRELY on her lectures. The textbook is optional, so DON'T buy it because that's a waste of 90 bucks. Overall, a highly recommended course.

Sherri Moore is awesome.

This class is definitely one of my favorite classes at UVA and is probably one of the only classes that will apply to everyone regardless of which major you have! Sherri Moore really just wants everyone to understand the material and cares about her students as human beings. The midterms are not hard as long as you make a good cheat sheet and take good notes throughout the semester and she throws out any problems that at least 50% of the class doesn't answer correctly. The quizzes once a week are straight forward and if you put in any effort at all, you're guaranteed to get a good grade!

Sherri Moore is a great professor who is very knowledgeable and makes the material relevant and applicable to students. No need to read the textbook; just go to lecture and take good notes to study for the three exams, which are all pretty manageable. Overall highly recommend this course for anyone.
