Institution:

Villanova University

Subject:

Description:

Description: With the ever increasing foreign commerce and travel by Americans, legal problems transcending national boundaries are proliferating. These problems might be resolved through litigation in the United States, international arbitration, or other means. The course in Transnational Litigation will cover litigation with significant foreign elements, bringing together such topics as the act of state doctrine, choice of law, competence (subject-matter-jurisdiction), discovery, foreign, sovereign immunity, international commercial arbitration, jurisdiction, recognition and enforcement of judgements, the relation of federal and state laws, service process, and venue. While students will have studied many of these topics in other courses, each takes on a peculiar coloration when there are significant transnational aspects. Transnational litigation also provides a structured opportunity to consider the interaction of these topics as taught in widely scattered courses. The course is related to, but not a substitute for, the course on Conflict of Laws 3.00credit(s) Restrictions: Must be enrolled in one of the following Levels: Law School
