The course introduces you to the United States common-law system, its courts and basic procedural and substantive law. It will include analyzing and 'briefing' landmark decisions made by the US Supreme Court in various areas of the substantive law. You will analyse and discuss these decisions, also in terms of legal language, synthesize the legal rules and rationales laid down in them. You will be asked to present a case or a legal argument orally in class, which will be graded. You will also be asked to work with other students in preparing for graded Moot Court sessions by developing legal arguments using case law read throughout the course. |
