  • What is The US Legal Learning Tree?

    Whether you are preparing to attend law school, practicing law, or working in a profession intersected by US law, you need a solid foundation. The US Legal Learning Tree is a interactive virtual course designed to build your confidence and fluency in the American legal process. Taught by a former Adjunct Professor at the University of Pennsylvania with 30 years of litigation experience.

    Course topics include fundamentals of US constitutional law, the operation of a common law system, the mechanics of US litigation, including jury trial procedure and discovery as well as areas of law which directly affect companies in Asia doing business in the United States. This list is by no means exhaustive. We'll cover many other areas of US law as well.

  • Mission

    To bridge the gap between international experience and US practice. This initiative is a contribution to the legal profession, founded on the belief that high-quality mentorship should be accessible to anyone willing to do the work. My mission is to lower the barriers to entry—and provide sophisticated legal education with no tuition and no catch.
