Law of Democracy has definitely been one of
my favorite courses at NYU.
I took it my Spring 2L year, and Professor
Issacharoff taught it.
Professor Issacharoff has just had a lot of
litigation experience on the ground, in the
fields of election law and voting rights.
So he would bring his war stories from Obama’s
2008 and 2012 campaigns, he led the litigation
team there, and he had war stories coming in from
Ohio.
But beyond that he’s just a really sharp
academic.
So I came into the course with a lot preconceptions
about what I thought about campaign finance,
for instance, and every course, every class
day, I would go home to my husband and say
“you know, I thought this way about campaign
finance or districting, but you know, maybe
actually what's both desirable and possible
is something completely different.
