LAW 6800 - Comparative Legal Studies 

This course aims to help students understand the role of law in society from a comparative perspective, including the role of law in international relations and trade, particularly for governments and multinational firms. The course includes a field trip to a foreign country with visits to legal and government offices in that country as well as business and educational agencies if available. The trip will emphasize the culture of the country visited and the relationship of culture to the country's legal system, through group participation in selected cultural events and visits.
