Sherri Moore is a gem and if you enjoyed CL1, you'll enjoy CL2. This class helped me realize I do NOT want to go into Commercial Law, but that isn't a knock on the professor or the class at all; if anything, it's a good thing that I figured it out early on. Professor Moore is unorganized, but if you made it through CL1 then you'll absolutely be fine for CL2. There's not much else to say other than I think it's slightly easier than CL1 and you get to type your cheat sheets. The class is 20% case brief assignment, 20% x 2 midterms, 40% final.

Sherri Moore is easily one of the most enjoyable professors at this school. Comm Law II is a great follow-up to the first class, diving much deeper into the business side of law, including topics such as patents, contracts, and business entities. If you have any interest in law school or the law this is 100% a class to take. Even if you don't, it is an good class made enjoyable by a great professor. I would rate is slightly less favorably compared to Comm Law I

Grade Breakdown:
30%: 50 question midterm
30%: 50 question midterm
40%: 100 question final

For the exams you are allowed to bring typed/handwritten cheat sheets that you are able to cram most of the course material on to.

Sherri Moore is the GOAT. Take this class and get to know her while you're at it. Great professor, great content, great lessons learned from the course.

If you enjoyed Comm Law I, then you will definitely enjoy this course. Professor Moore removed weekly quizzes and you instead make them up by doing case studies of Supreme Court cases and debating those in class. Overall, the assignments are easy and the in-class discussion is pretty intense but fun. It's a very educational opportunity. The tests seem more application-based than the ones in Comm Law I which make them more direct and easier in my opinion. The cheat sheets that she permits are allowed to be typed and you get three whole pages so you can pretty much write down all the notes for the test onto the cheat sheet and use them super effectively during the test. Highly recommend!

I thoroughly recommend this class. Professor Moore is a very engaging lecturer and a fair and reasonable grader. I always felt prepared for my quizzes and tests, and I felt the information asked of me was well within the bounds of discussion.
The material of the class is bit more complicated than that of COMM Law 1, but if you did well in that class, you will do well in this class. The tests are even more based in application questions than I remember Comm 1 being. We talked mainly about Corporation and business formation, partnership agreements, intellectual property rights, and the controlling of the sale of goods. I'm not particularly interested in any of that, but I thoroughly enjoyed learning about it from Professor Moore.
The structure of the class is very straightforward. There are weekly reading quizzes, 2 midterms, and a final exam. The quizzes are worth 20% of your grade, the midterms are 20% a piece, and the final is 40%. All the exams are online, taken through Collab. As in Comm 1, you are allowed the two sheets of notes to have with you while you take the exam. There are regular extra credit opportunities. The TAs are also great at following through with SDAC accommodations, which is refreshing.
If you're looking for an easy class with limited homework, I recommend this class. I spent about one hour a week on reviewing for the reading quizzes, and about 5-7ish hours studying for the midterms, I will end the course with an A. There was no weekly reading.
Additionally, Professor Moore was incredibly understanding and accommodating with all that has happened this semester.

pretty much the same set up as comm law 1-- professor moore lectured on the outlines posted on collab and there were 5 quizzes and 3 exams (including the final). there was also a group project assignment that seemed... a little thrown together in the middle of the semester. the grading for that was pretty generous so long as you did the assignment, but just know there is that. there was only 1 assigned reading and it was for the second to last day of the semester. definitely a lot of stuff to know, but we were able to type our notes in lecture and use a typed up sheet of notes on all of the exams. if you liked CL1, you'll enjoy it.

Personally, I feel like I played myself. I didn’t really love comm law 1 (the exams were a grind to prepare for and I thought the lectures were pretty boring) but I didn’t know what other course to fill my schedule with so I took comm law 2. And I should’ve learned my lesson the first time bc CL2 isn’t any better. CL2 imo was even way more boring because it was actually business law this time (shocker) while CL1 included more interesting (IMO) case law and constitutional information. But yeah, should’ve stopped at CL1 lol. The exams are low key hard imo and the cutoff for an A is so high. Prof Moore is a wonderful person tho and take it if you really enjoyed CL1! Also taking such a long final online this semester was really rough... but in CL2 you do get applicable real world legal information which could be really helpful in the future.

I loved this class. Sherri Moore is the best professor I have ever had at UVA. This class is low maintenance and Professor Moore makes her lectures interesting. I highly recommend this class.

Honestly, you'd be dumb to not take this course. Good stuff to know and nice professor. There's virtually no outside work besides studying. No stress. Sherri's classes are literally easier than high school courses.

Great class but be prepared to never get graded tests back. Takes about 2-3 weeks to get the multiple tests and final exam grades.
