Classes & Schedule
Classes
for the “U.S. Legal Methods: Introduction to U.S. Law” program
will be held Monday through Friday of each week starting at
10:00 a.m. In
the afternoon there will be additional lectures and off-site
visits to significant legal venues, such as the Capitol, the
World Bank, the IMF and prestigious D.C. law firms.
IUSLAW combines three complementary elements into its teaching
methodology;
- First, participants are immersed in the relevant theories
supporting each area of law;
- Second, leading academics instruct on the practical aspects of each area of law—what the laws are, how they are found (via cases, codes or constitutions), and how they are applied;
- Finally, leading practitioners from top law firms, the government, as well as judges carry the instruction outside the academic world and into the “real” world of actual legal practice. It is often this last element that allows participants to complete the program with a sense that they have a real “hands on” understanding of U.S. Law and the U.S. Legal System.
