This unit provides an introduction to international trade law. The unit is designed for students with no prior knowledge of the area, though completion of LAW4108 International Law would be an advantage.

Students will be introduced to the Vienna Convention on the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and related legal rules and institutions relevant to the Wilhelm C Vis International Mooting Competition.
Students will have two blocks of two days of contact including lectures and tutorial exercises.
Students must pass 1 units from LAW2350, LAW3608, MAN3457
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Lectures, workshops, case studies and practical exercises. Students will have two blocks of two days of contact including lectures and tutorial exercises. A moot exercise may be scheduled outside the contact hours depending on class numbers.
Lectures will be used to introduce content, concept and principles relevant to the subject and provide direction to students in research. Tutorials will allow students to develop oral and written responses to lecture and research materials, and students are encouraged to work collaboratively in informal groups. There will be an emphasis on research and critical analysis of legal instruments and political responses to the subject. Students will be expected to exhibit an ability to undertake relevant self-directed research to generate and evaluate ideas and appreciate multiple perspectives. Students are required to apply appropriate skills in oral and written communication.
