International Commercial Law
International commerce is based on special methods of contracting and drafting agreements. The objective of this class is to give students a toolbox for drafting international commercial agreements taking into account the difference in culture and legal systems (mostly between the United States and Europe, but with some indications of other systems). Students will be given a hypothetical case and will be asked to draft the most important clauses of an agreement. Their drafts will be inspired by the materials distributed for the class, including the Vienna Sales Convention, the Unidroit Principles on International Commercial contracts, ICC Model contracts and real life contracts. Based on their drafts, discussion will be developped in class on each of the clauses.
