International & Domestic Sales

This course focuses on the law applicable to sale of goods transactions between domestic and foreign countries and examines some of the difficult issues that arise out of international sale transactions. Specifically, the course focuses on the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), a treaty that has been ratified by more than 80 countries. In addition to analyzing the usual litigation situations, the course also explores issues concerning lawyers as problem-solvers who plan and structure transactions to allocate risks and avoid litigation.
