Classes (quarter 1 of 2)

Today, I’ve signed up for my classes in the first of two quarters at the Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam School of Law.

I’ve chosen four classes this quarter: International and European Sports Law, International Economic Law, Maritime Casualties, and Commercial Litigation.

About International and European Sports Law
This class provides an overview of the major themes in the field of international and European sports law (capita selecta).

In particular, within the context of this legal field, the focus is on providing insight into the problems, such as the increased tension and friction with general international (and national) legal standards, and the possible solutions for these.

About International Economic Law
The goal of this class is to provide students with knowledge of and insight into international economic law.

The process of globalization, which has recently attracted much public debate, is evolving around various international economic institutions such as the WTO, the IMF and the European Union.

About Maritime Casualties
This class examines the complex legal relations and liabilities which arise when a ship at sea is in distress and/or suffers a maritime casualty.

An overview of the many international legal instruments which (may) apply to various aspects of a maritime casualty will be covered. It addresses the various mechanisms designed to prevent maritime casualties and marine pollution from occurring by raising the technical and safety standards of and on board of ships.

About Commercial Litigation
Subjects which will be covered in this class are principles of civil procedure, evidence and remedies. The aim is to provide students with the comparative perspective of a legal practitioner involved in commercial litigation internationally and to provide in-depth knowledge of how selected topics of civil procedure law are dealt with in a selected group of level systems.
