Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The goal of this class is to make students acquainted with the practical and legal problems of cross-border sales under the CISG. Participants acquire in-depth knowledge of international sales law and learn the structure, scope of application and substantive rules of the CISG, especially contrasting them with national sales law regulations.
Participating students should have a sound basis in a national civil law (any) and a good command of the English language (no other language is necessary). They should also have completed at least an introduction to Private International Law.

Methods:
The method of this class is both abstract and problem-oriented: At first, the background will be covered by a general introduction to the topic, explaining the legal sources and their role. Thereafter, specific problems will be discussed with the participants, often with a practical background. Students will receive original texts and documents. Powerpoint will be used.

Language:
All classes will be held in English.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Students will be assessed on the basis of a written exam and on the basis of their participation during the class, weighted 70% for the written exam and 30% for oral participation.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

In order to be successful in the exam, students must demonstrate that they
(1) have understood the techniques used for international business transactions,
(2) are familiar with the legal sources governing such transactions, and
(3) are able to solve legal problems that may occur in practice.
Only topics discussed in the class will be examined.
The grades will be based on the comprehensiveness, soundness and accuracy of the student’s answers. The quality of the English language will not affect the grade except where a lack of language skills leads to incomprehensible answers.
