School: Meet the Professors (Part 3)

Today it's time to feature Professor Jacobs, our Criminal Law professor. She earned her J.D. from Rutgers University and worked as a defense attorney in New York. She most reminds me of one of those Zion council members from "The Matrix: Reloaded/Revolutions," usually because of her idiosyncratic hair and dress.

Again, like all of my professors, she has a sharp sense of humor, especially when it comes to people being sent to jail for white-collar crime. While I may not agree with her politics (she's an unabashed N.Y. liberal), she is quite skilled as a professor.

Professor Jacobs will lecture through cases sometimes to keep us on track, but mostly she just calls out a name from the seating chart and has someone work through a case. She has done an excellent job of pointing out the injustices of our (admittedly imperfect) criminal justice system, but I sense that she believes the system can be reformed without upsetting the entire apple cart.
