Learning US Law

Sponsored post: Professor Frank S. Ravitch has spoken on U.S. Constitutional Law Issues around the world, and is the author of several books and numerous articles. Throughout his travels he noticed that many foreign lawyers and law students are interested in U.S. Law, but lack background on the basics of the U.S. legal system, government system and U.S. law, just as most U.S. lawyers lack similar background in the law of other nations.

For example, do you know that the U.S. President's power is far more limited than most people around the world think? Or that the power of judges in the United States is far broader than most people think? Or that President George W. Bush's use of Guantanamo may have indeed been unconstitutional?
