Teaching
International Business Law (On-Campus)
This course has two basic aims: (1) to develop in each student a good understanding of the various legal doctrines applicable to international business transactions; (2) to develop in each student a number of useful skills (drafting, negotiating and resolving disputes) for working in this area. To this effect, there will be a strong emphasis on the practical problems that lawyers and business executives encounter in the various types of commercial agreement and the manner in which those problems can be resolved.
