Fidel Castro is a lawyer. He got his law degree in 1950 from Havana University. Although he never practiced law, he has shaped Cuba's legal system. American attorneys can learn from that legal system, Philadelphia labor lawyers Gail Lopez-Henriquez and Joshua P. Rubinsky said following a recent visit to the communist country that included a meeting with Castro. "There is a sense of respect for other human beings there," Rubinsky said, "A respect you don't see [in the U.S.] in terms of labor relations."
