We were fortunate to have Rachelle Tilly, associate at Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, who stepped in at the last minute and made an excellent presentation on US legislation.
...
Rachelle discussed the basic legislative process, and how a bill becomes law, with some excellent slides and handouts.
...
Rachelle also spoke about Congress' power to delegate some of its law-making authority to federal agencies, usually to facilitate the development of new rules or to amend existing law through secondary legislation.
...
The overview of the US legislature provided by Rachelle has given me a good grounding in how federal law is enacted, and Helen's reference list of websites has made me feel more confident about researching this area of law.
