This training is focused on the sources and hierarchy of American law, and drives home the general rule, that a hierarchy exists, so that a constitution (or charter), law, or rule does not contradict a higher constitution, law, or rule.  

Key take-aways include discussion on: 

  • The Sources of law, including Federalism and Separation of Power
  • The Hierarchy of Law: Federal, State and Local Government
    => Federal and State Constitutions, and Charters
    => Laws (statutes) enacted by Congress and State Legislatures
    => Rules promulgated by federal, state and local agencies
