Foreign Relations Law
This course examines the constitutional and statutory doctrinesregulating the conduct of American foreign relations. Topics include the
distribution of foreign relations powers between the three branches of
the federal government, the power to declare and conduct war, the status
of international law in U.S. courts, the scope of the treaty power, the
validity of executive agreements, the pre‑emption of state foreign
relations activities, and the political question and other doctrines
regulating judicial review in foreign relations cases. Where relevant,
we will focus on current events, including issues arising from the
