Description

Professor of Law, University of California, Berkeley; Co-author, Taming Globalization: International Law, the U.S. Constitution, and the New World Order

John Yoo argues that dozens of international institutions like the International Court of Justice and the World Trade Organization present an unavoidable challenge to American constitutional law. He argues that America must re-conceptualize the Constitution and must recognize the President's power to terminate international agreements and interpret international law. Come hear his thought provoking arguments.
