國際模擬法庭專題(英文授課)

This course is conducted in English. The course is designed to train lawyering skills through moot court training based on and/or participation in Annual Willem C. Vis (East) international Commercial Arbitration Moot competition. Traditional legal education does not provide adequate training on lawyering skills, such as research, legal argumentation, legal persuasive writing, as well as efficient and effective oral communications with the adjudicating tribunals. This course intends to fill the gap. Through the course students will understand the functions and practices of international commercial arbitral tribunals. In addition, students will be required to conduct research, to write written submissions, and to present oral arguments through teamwork. Students will, accordingly, acquire essential skills necessary for the career of international lawyer. Accordingly, the core of the course is to train advocacy ability of the students. The emphasis is thus not on legal rules. Instead, the focus of the teaching will be on the writing and oral abilities. The actual content of the course will be adjusted according to the Vis Moot problem of the year. There will be no lectures in the class. Instead, the course will focus on exercises of legal research, legal writing, and oral presentation skills. Students are expected to conduct their own necessary research and study. Students will be divided into groups. Tasks including research, writing, and oral practices will be assigned both to individual students and groups. 本課程在於訓練學生參與國際模擬法庭競賽,由授課教師選擇適當之參賽場域,本學期選擇Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot Court。希望藉由模擬法庭競賽,使修課同學瞭解及熟悉國際法庭運作,同時藉由訴狀撰寫、團隊合作過程,及當庭演練,增進及加強學生將抽象法理應用於具體案件之能力,以體顯並瞭解實際行動中之法律(law in action)的特色與差異。特別著重實際操作演練,為增加課堂上演練之效果,參與同學於課外時間亦需花費相當時間準備。本課程亦重視團隊合作能力之養成,現今法律議題龐雜,無法於短時間之內,以一人之力獨立解決,而如何有效分配人力以達團隊最佳效率,亦為本課程目標。 主要課程內容: 1. 國際貨物買賣公約(CISG) 2. 聯合國貿易委員會國際商務仲裁模範法 3. 外國仲裁判斷之承認執行公約(紐約公約) 4.

本課程為實作性課程,並非一般性的講授課程。限於修過國際商務仲裁實務演練之同學選修。 The course is limited to students who have successfully taken "International Commercial Arbitration: Case Studies".
