Contracts are essential to international commerce. Parties to cross-border contracts must navigate multiple legal systems, whose approaches to important legal issues may differ. The course in International and Comparative Contract Law explores core ideas in contracts as elaborated in different legal systems, with a focus on German, French and English law. We emphasize topics likely to arise in cross-border contracts, including formation, interpretation, the role of good faith, change of circumstances, and remedies. Additionally, the course covers private international law issues specific to contracts, before concluding with a comparative examination of English sale of goods law and the Convention on the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
