Looking for Winter Session Courses?



This A.B.A.-approved study abroad program in Curacao runs from December 18, 2009, to January 9, 2010. Students benefit from being taught by three experts in their fields, while receiving four academic credits. Last year, the program attracted dozens of students from across the country. Below are the course descriptions for this year's program. Each course is two credits.


· The Law of Humanity and the Law of Nations (required course)

The purpose of this course is to consider the foundations of international law and of global justice, with special emphasis on the sources and evidence of law, and when and why international standards should limit or control the national law and policies of independent governments or states. This course will be taught by Mortimer Sellers, Regents Professor at the University of Baltimore School of Law.


· Comparative Refugee and Asylum Law

Throughout this century, millions of refugees have been forced to flee their homes to escape persecution, war, and other threats, and the world has been forced to respond to these crises. This course will look at the international development of modern refugee law. This course will be taught by Lauris Wren, Clinical Professor of Law at Hofstra Law School.


· Introduction to the Economic Law of the European Union for Non EU Lawyers

Institutional structure and legal principles governing the EU and details of free movement of goods, services and capital will be discussed in this course. It also examines the most important aspects of EU economic law which are relevant for non-EU lawyers, as well as for non-EU companies and nationals. This course will be taught by Dr. Flora Goudappel, Associate Professor of European Union Law at Erasmus School of Law.
