Theoretical knowledge guides practice, which nourishes reflection. The course will closely associate theory and practice to make learners operational when facing legal issues in international trade. Many templates of clauses and contracts, as well as practical cases, will be studied. The main medium of the course will be the lecturer’s website, giving learners access to slides, lessons, quizzes, guides, and templates of clauses and contracts.
