Although you may consult any materials which may seem helpful during the examination period, the distributed materials, casebook and your class notes are more than sufficient basis for writing the exam. You may discuss the examination with one another so long as you remain confident that your exam paper is solely your own work. Your completed exam should not exceed eight typed double spaced pages. Please type or write legibly on one side of each page, using every other line if necessary. I am looking for knowledge of the law, ability to develop analogies and apply potentially relevant doctrines, precision and rigor in analysis, and understanding of the fundamental debates about international law discussed in the class.
Land is a small nation with a rapidly developing economy.
The country is sharply divided between a modernized commercial sector and a traditional rural sector. Both contain very large differences of wealth. Most rural Alanders belong to the Ruralic ethnic group. For centuries, many poor Ruralic families would contract with the wealthiest Ruralic lords to place their youngest child in lifetime service for a large lump sum payment. It was a great honor both for children accepted into service and for their families.
