Description
This survey course is designed to give students a broad overview of the law—domestic, foreign, and international—governing international business transactions. We begin by looking at several issues that cut across various types of international transactions: the role of international lawyers, international dispute resolution, the place of international law in the U.S. legal system, the extraterritorial application of domestic law, and the function of the WTO. These introductory sessions are followed by commercial problems focusing on different types of transactions including transnational sales, agency and distributorship agreements, foreign direct investment, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and international debt instruments, including the applicable domestic law (including domestic regulations) and international law.
