The goal of this class is to familiarise students with the different approaches that exist around the world regarding conflict of laws issues. This should enable them to predict a potential forum and the legal rules applying to cross-border dispute resolution. From a practical viewpoint, such knowledge is vital for a professional career in contract negotiation and drafting as well as in international litigation or arbitration. It may also provide opportunities in an international organisation.
The lecture will focus on the conflict-of-laws rules of the EU and the US and compare them to those of other major legal systems (UK, Switzerland, Russia, China, Japan, Latin America).Methods:
Students will receive original materials in English, which they will have to read in advance. They will also receive powerpoints. Practical examples will be provided and cases discussed.Language:
All classes will be held in English.
