The course will also consider the proposed International Criminal Court and the Rome Statute of 1998. This course will study the international law applicable to commercial transactions with emphasis on doing business in the Middle East. Particular emphasis is placed on the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and its rules concerning tariffs, quotas, the most favored nation clause, escape clause proceeding, dumping, subsidies and countervailing duties. Students will also study the practicalities of doing business in the Middle East. They may be scheduled in the late afternoon or early evening.
Attendance is mandatory.
There will also be two field visits to legal institutions. If appropriate, field visits and the Roundtable Discussion will count toward the required class attendance time. It is unlikely that participation in a foreign summer program may be used to accelerate graduation. A student seeking to accelerate graduation should consult with the Registrar.
