“My classes have all been taught by people who are leaders in their field. I was lucky enough to be taught Defamation Law by one the USA’s leading defamation lawyers, Rod Smolla. Rod was able to use his real-life experience representing Larry Flint, MoTown artists and the Borat film’s unwilling stars to illustrate theoretical points in his lectures.”
