Designed for a two-credit-hour course, the materials present a systematic examination of the difficult issues that can arise out of international sales transactions. In addition to analyzing usual litigation situations, the materials also present issues concerning lawyers as problem-solvers who plan and structure transactions in order to allocate risks and avoid litigation. U.S. and foreign CISG cases are set forth. The book presents copyrighted CLOUT and UNILEX abstracts that are reprinted with permission. Since CISG is a composite of both civil law and common law concepts, also included are readings that explain these civil law concepts where they arise in CISG.
This is a special break-out edition adapted from the authors' widely used International Business Transactions: A Problem-Oriented Coursebook , 11th. The purpose of this volume is to facilitate a focused study of the law of international trade and economic relations. After a brief introduction to the conduct of business in the world community, the book uses hypothetical problems to present some of the most typical and important issues regarding imports, exports, technology transfers, and dispute settlement in conjunction with related readings and materials. The primary focus is on lawyers, public and private, as problem solvers.
This Reader was developed to accompany the coursebook, which was designed to be used in a variety of ways. Some professors work sequentially through the book as a general introduction to international business transactions. Others selectively mix and match different parts, chapters, or problems to suit their particular teaching goals and credit hours. Still others ; specialize; their course by augmenting the book with outside readings. The authors developed this Reader with assistance from faculty who teach international business law. For each problem, materials have been excerpted that expand upon or are deliberately different from those in the coursebook.
