On successfully completing the course, students will understand the basics of cross-border contracting and in particular problems of conflict of laws (Internationales Privatrecht). The Convention on the International Sale of Goods (UN-Kaufrecht) will be compared to other international instruments.
Students are supposed to attend at least 75% of all classes. Bear in mind that this class will meet on only four days! Any further absence will only be tolerated if the student can provide a reasonable justification supported by written evidence (e.g. medical attestation).
There will be two written multiple-choice quizzes at the end of each weekend (Saturday early afternoon, worth 15% each towards the final grade) and one written final exam, the latter counting 70% towards the final grade. Details will be explained in class. Active participation.
Students are expected to understand basic concepts of contract law.
