The course is designed to teach understanding of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) as well as international commercial arbitration. In addition, the course aims to train lawyering skills with a view to prepare students to participate 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 with regard to international business transactions. This course intends to fill the gap. Through the course students will understand the functions and practices of international commercial arbitral tribunals adjudicating issues governed by the CISG. In addition to the materials in the assigned textbook, students will be required to prepare the Vis Moot problem of the year. A moot court exercise will be conducted at the end of the semester. The main topics to be covered in the course: 1. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) 2. International Commercial Arbitration 3. Legal Advocacy
This course is taught in English. A significant amount of reading will be assigned each week. Active participation during the class is expected.
1. Moot Court Practice (30%). 2. Midterm Examination (30%). 3. Final Examination (30%). 4. Class Participation (10%).
