Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The course aims to teach students the ability to independently analyze legal problems in an academic manner and to present the results of such analysis. The course covers legal problems that have emerged in case law and legal literature or that stem from recent legislative reforms. It focuses on pervasive problems in international dispute resolution, for instance with regard to the conclusion of arbitration agreements and choice of court agreements, parallel proceedings in different jurisdictions, cross-border taking of evidence and so forth. Legal issues will also be analyzed from a comparative law perspective. Students should, therefore, be willing to work in English and to research legal resources from different jurisdictions. Potential topics will be further defined in the course of the first meeting. Students may also submit suggestions for topics.
Assessment and permitted materials
The first session, taking place on 16th October 2025, 1:30 p.m., in Vienna, is dedicated to the selection and distribution of topics. Following the first session, undergraduate students will have to independently research case law and literature concerning their topic and draft a research paper. The research paper’s results will then be presented in the course of a two days session scheduled for February 2025 in London or Paris. Each presentation will be followed by a discussion. Undergraduate students have to submit their research paper until the end of the semester. Graduate students do not have to submit a research paper. They will only have to present the result of their research during the sessions indicated.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
To pass the course undergraduate students are required to submit a research paper in accordance with the principles of good scientific practice and the quality criteria laid down of the curriculum for undergraduate studies of law at the University of Vienna. Each performance, i.e. research paper and presentation, will be assessed individually. Graduate students will be assessed on the basis of their presentation only.
