Professor Shapiro is wonderful, and the class style is mostly lecture-based with some group work here and there. I think to get the most out of the class, talk to prof about the course and actively contribute to class. Great class, highly recommend!

This class was very interesting and it was an easy schedule filler class. If you are interested in law, you learn a lot about how the law works with the finance world. I had a lot of fun in this class and would definitely recommend.

New course for spring 2024 that was my favorite course I have taken at Midd. Content is incredibly unique for Midd and Professor Shapiro has a wealth of experience in the field. His passion for the material is clear and he brings interesting stories from his career into many of the lectures.
