Professor Richard Williamson recently lectured in German at the University of Marburg, Germany on “Einführung in das Recht der USA” (An Introduction to Law in the US), which dealt with differences in the legal systems of Germany and the US, with particular emphasis on differences in the structure and control of public law functions. Professor Williamson was a former Fulbright Professor at the University of Leipzig and did extensive research on the different approaches to federalism in environmental protection. He has published three works (two articles and a book chapter, two of which were in English and one in German) with Prof. Monika Böhm of Marburg. They are putting the final touches on an article in German on differing approaches to public law in the two countries. At Miami Law, Professor Williamson teaches introductory and advanced courses in environmental law, alternative dispute resolution, and courses and seminars on international law topics, including public international law, arms control and international environmental law. He is the Chair of the university-wide Faculty Senate.
