I love her, she have so much enthusiasm!! She explains things so well.
How I wish there are law professors in the Philippines as great as you are.
I am literally crying, thank you for the talk.
she is amazing! I wish this was my law teacher. she is so enthusiastic and candid.
One of the best ted talks I've heard.
I met Professor Levinson through a Law School prep course back in 2001 and, although I was never a student in her class, her guidance and wisdom as I worked my way through law school had a profound impact on me.
I'm glad I watched all of it, really heart and thought provoking
TEDx talks are the best, and this speaker/professor was excellent

why would you assume she was fake?
Well done, Miss for your stage talk
what this tells you is , you need better investigators in a crime , with the proper and correct evidence ,it makes it a lot easier for a lawyer
Why wasn’t she a lawyer? She’s great !!
I strongly believe that one of the reasons why crim pro is one of the easier subjects in law school is because of how well the course is being taught by the professors. Including Laurie levenson
i think shes amazing
When applied to Law School I found (1)I could cheat on the GRE, and so could anyone else. This means that the 'secure test is not secure, and so the Law Schools have breached the contract of EVERY applicant. (2) The LSAT now requires the essay to be written at home on one's own computer, watched by software downloaded from the LSAT publishers. I wrote to the test publishers asking 'is this SPYWARE?' Instead of answering the question, they offered to let me take the test on one of THEIR computers at a school. So they are compiling a database of the interior of thousands of predominantly wealthy homes. (3)To do well on one of the sections of the LSAT 'logic games' requires taking a an expensive course to learn the rules of the game. I wrote to many Law Schools about these problems, their response? SILENCE. I will take them to court.. '
