“Broad knowledge of science and law, a role model and mentor, and impeccably logical in how she teaches and writes. Loved the course.”

“Dr. Corbin is exceptionally clear and organized. She shows genuine interest in student questions and comments. Also, she's hilarious, with a fast wit and great sense of irony. (I used to retell her jokes to my partner over dinner.) It was one of the best courses I took, and I don't mind recommending it to anyone reading this review.”

“Fantastic course, recommended highly. Dr. Corbin communicates basic principles of law (also science) really clearly, then she motivates you to build on them with your own research and ideas. She gets respect because she gives respect. Make sure you choose her section for the course--I think someone else is teaching a section of it in 2018.”  

“Professor Corbin is not only a teacher but a mentor. You come out of this course a better writer and thinker. It's the only course I've taken from her, but she'd probably be as good in any course they give her to teach.”

“Clear. Straight-shooter. Creative thinker, you can always develop your own great ideas by attending classes. Fair-minded, open to new arguments if you support them. I would take any course she teaches.”

“Greatest course in the world. My uncle is a judge, and he says they never got to take this kind of course when he was at law school, so maybe Osgoode should offer it to judges. At least when I'm a judge, I'll have taken it. Greatest prof, hope to keep in touch with her.”

“I rate the course and Dr. Corbin very high. Her teaching style is interactive. Even when I just had a vague idea, and she called on me, she found a way to develop my idea into something relevant. Then I never forgot it and even wrote about it in my essay. Also, she "mentored" me through my research. She gave me confidence in myself.”

“Prof-Dr. Corbin is like your perfect professor--funny, smart, organized and fair. They should make her a judge. Almost every place I interviewed with knew her and had good things to say. Her reference helped me get my articling job. I learned a lot from her, including how to write better. A lot of work though.”

“I took this course last year, and can now say with absolute certainty that Prof Corbin is one of the best reasons to go to Osgoode Hall Law School. The law partners at my firm are always asking me about stuff I learned in this course. It has limited registration, so if you are thinking of taking it, sign up fast.”

“Dr. Corbin is one of the best professors in the law school--very smart and practical, and always well-prepared.”
