Took Prof. Daugirdas’ United Nations Seminar. Fantastic class. Rich with material, always very interesting discussion. Professor Daugirdas is super knowledgeable about the subject, and teaches in a fun quirky manner that I found really accessible. She was also really helpful when i came to her with a half-developed paper idea and pointed me to several important sources that ultimately helped me right a pretty decent paper! Definitely recommend if you’re interested in international law and the institutions at play therein.
I took Professor Daugirdas for Contracts and thought she was an extremely fair professor. I learned a lot and ended up feeling like I had a pretty good grasp of the Restatements of Contracts and the Uniform Commercial Code. We stayed very on schedule and I thought her exam was fair. I will say that she also made us read the CISG (Convention on the International Sale of Goods), which as interesting at times, but was mostly a time suck. U.S. lawyers don’t use the CISG/it isn’t on the bar, so it did feel like a lot of extra reading and we often didn’t get to it. Despite that, I still think she was an extremely brilliant professor and was really available during office hours. Would 100% recommend, especially for an international course as that is her area of expertise.
Ditto above on UN seminar. Note that what I got out of the UN seminar was actually a lot more on the international law of IOs and less information on the UN qua UN, but very much enjoyed the seminar and love Daugirdas as a professor. She’s inclusive, kind, engaging, and exceedingly knowledgeable about IOs.
I had Daugirdas for 1L contracts. She was really nice, extremely well-prepared for class, and taught a very good course overall. My one main complaint is that the exam was really long—much longer than any of my other 1L exams. I and many of my classmates were surprised by the length and had trouble completing it on time.
Professor Daugirdas is very knowledgeable and very interested in student perspectives. I would recommend her to anyone with an interest in international law, but also to people who know nothing about it. At times, however, it can feel like there is a “right” answer buried in deep international law knowledge that most students do not have. She really pushes students and tries to elicit the best work in response.
