This course provides an overview of international contracts that govern international business transactions. The main legal issues in these contracts are reviewed, including choice of law/conflict of law and forum selection/forum non conveniens. You will learn about different types of choice of law provisions, the difference between lex fori and lex causae, forum selection for disputes and how forum selection is challenged in court. You will be introduced to uniform and model laws that can be used in an international contract. You will also gain an understanding of the different types of clauses that can be used in an international contract, all designed to increase the reliability and predictability of the business relationship. Finally, you will explore three case studies which will allow you to see all of these legal rules in action and give you a practical understanding of the concepts discussed.
