Biography
Professor Bradley believes that the best way to fully understand and critique American law is to become familiar with foreign legal systems. Consequently, he has worked extensively abroad. He was an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Criminal Law in Germany and a Fulbright Senior Fellow at Australian National University. He lectured on criminal law and procedure throughout South Africa as a guest of Rand Afrikaans University in Johannesburg.
He has written extensively, including three books and more than 40 articles. His most recent book, The Rehnquist Legacy, was published in 2006. Criminal Procedure: A Worldwide Study, was published in 1999.
