Course content

International trade is a specialist but very important area of law. Whilst specialist, it has considerable numbers of practitioners all around the world and it is growing as a result of globalisation. Developing countries necessarily need more lawyers educated in this area as their development necessarily involves deepening involvement in the international trade process and the legal structures which underpin it. Globalisation also necessarily means that the same result follows in developed countries also for even here, trade is increasingly international.

This programme aims to provide a knowledge and understanding of the background to international trade, the transactional conditions conductive to its development and the specific and general problems which threaten the success and integrity of individual transactions. It also aims to encourage students to develop research skills in these areas.
