| Inhalt | In this course, students are introduced to English and American tort and contract law through the study and analysis of court decisions. Students are also introduced to the characteristics of Anglo-American case law, the English and American court systems and procedural “peculiarities” such as the jury trial, class actions and the discovery procedure. This is an interactive course. Students are required to prepare in advance and to participate actively in class. Assigned readings will be listed in the course schedule on this web page at the beginning of the semester, along with a schedule of topics. Additional reading materials will be provided in class or made available on ADAM. Students are responsible for checking the updated list of assigned readings and for reading these assignments. |
