Awesome

Professor Patel is honestly the best professor I've ever had. He is available anytime, he will call or facetime you if you need help. He teaches you skills that will help you with things beyond the course. Truly, he is the best.

Good

Any bad review about Professor Patel is false and should not be heard. He is a great professor and if you put the work in, you will definitely get at least a B. He is very caring and willing to help all his students. He is a great professor and I highly recommend everyone to take him!

Awful

Professor Patel is a decent guy, but he doesn't do much to prepare you for the course. He seems approachable but will get rather pushy and try to overwhelm you if you go to him for any advice. The course's ridiculous structure and grading scale make it harder than it should be. You don't need to get the book, the slides are good enough.

Experience

  • Rutgers Law School - Entrepreneurship Law Clinic

    Director of Development & Adjunct Professor

    The Rutgers Law School Entrepreneurship Clinic is a new clinic headquartered at Rutgers Law School in Newark, NJ that seeks to provide qualified startup entrepreneurs and early stage small business founders with select legal services and support (complimentary / pro-bono at this time). This Clinic also provides law students with hands-on transactional law experience in representing for-profit and social entrepreneurs. It will also develop projects in partnership with the Rutgers Business School and the Rutgers School for Public Affairs and Administration, on which law students can collaborate with MBA and/or MPA students. The Clinic will also create linkages with the Greater Newark, New Brunswick, and broader New Jersey entrepreneurial community that will provide further opportunities to promote economic development and job creation. The Clinic will provide counseling and representation on such matters as: pre-venture activities; business planning; entity selection (e.g., whether to incorporate, form a partnership, create a limited liability company); negotiating, drafting and reviewing agreements; management and transparency-in-governance issues; capital structure, valuation and finance; intellectual property; employee management issues; community relations issues; and ongoing entrepreneurial and business activities. This Clinic will function as a virtual law firm, working with teams under the supervision of law school faculty, mentors, and a supervising practicing attorney and clinic director. Law students will maintain relationships with the Clinic's clients and manage the clients’ files; review their business models and develop work plans to meet the clients’ needs in collaboration with the Clinic's Legal and Faculty team.
