Faculty & Staff
The Institute for U.S. Law’s faculty and guest lecturers
are professors at some of the leading law schools in the United
States, for example, Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Penn, Virginia,
Georgetown, George Washington University, Catholic University
of America, and American University. These professors condense
their expertise into intensive, yet interactive lecture formats
in which program participants are taught a broad spectrum of
U.S. law in a relatively short period of time. As in most U.S.
law schools, classes at the Institute for U.S. Law
are taught primarily using the Socratic method, which involves
rigorous questioning of the students by the professor. Federal
and state court judges also serve as guest lecturers in the Institute's
programs as do senior attorneys from various agencies and departments
of the U.S. Government, such as the U.S. Department of Justice,
U.S. Department of State, and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Lastly, experienced attorneys from leading U.S. law firms offer
real world perspectives from their areas of experience and expertise.
Faculty and lecturers for each IUSLAW program are selected
in consultation with the IUSLAW Board of Advisors.
