LAW 212H - International Negotiation and Arbitration

Institution:

Duke University

Subject:

Law

Description:

The first term of this course will focus on problems lawyers face when developing relationships and resolving disputes that transcend national boundaries. Cross-nation negotiations entail not only differences in substantive laws but also assumptions about the role of law in negotiations and about proper procedures in reaching agreements. We will survey a broad range of difference between countries around the world and provide general guidelines for coping in a foreign legal culture. The main teaching method of this term of the course will involve negotiation simulation exercises, supplemented by lectures, discussions, and assigned readings. The second term of the course will examine the practice of international arbitration in a global environment. It will cover international arbitration institutions, model rules and procedures. Department consent is required. Instructor: Vidman
