LAW-742 Global Legal Skills
Prof. Rosa Kim,
2 credits day; 2 credits evening.
Summer Sweden
Legal practice in an increasingly globalizing world requires knowledge of different sources of
law and legal systems. This course offers students the opportunity to develop research, writing
and oral advocacy skills in a global context, by exploring legal problems governed by
international law. The course will also include discussion of comparative aspects of law and
advocacy. Students will engage actively through discussion, group work, simulations, and
presentations. There will be a substantial writing component, in addition to a series of shorter
assignments. This course meets the upper-level writing requirement.
