INTERNATIONAL OIL & GAS LAW (2 credits)
This course will provide students the opportunity to become more familiar with issues in international oil and gas law. Students will study in detail the use of oil and gas contracts and how poor drafting will affect each party's rights and obligations. The course will pay specific attention to the contractual and regulatory environment in the Middle East. An understanding of oil and gas law, particularly in the Middle East can be of significant importance in the determination of public policy, diplomacy, international relations, and international commerce.
ISLAMIC BANKING & FINANCE (2 credits)
This course will introduce students to the legal framework and principles of banking and finance in the Islamic world. Students will examine how the banking system operates within the framework of Shari'ah law and the role and influence of Shari'ah Supervisory Boards in operating a Shari'ah-complaint banking and finance system.
LAW IN THE MODERN MIDDLE EAST (2 credits) *
This course will offer the student a comprehensive overview of the legal and jurisprudential landscape in the modern Middle East. The course will first consider the legal history presented by ancient Islamic, Jewish and Christian legal systems and the early modern impact of the Ottoman imperial systems. It will then examine the creation of the modern Middle Eastern states and their concomitant legal structures, taking the time to carefully survey constitutional, family law, property law, contract, and commercial law doctrines and codes in important contemporary Middle Eastern states. Using a comparative methodology, the course will follow this survey with a critical analysis of current legal systems and judicial and legislative decision-making, including a brief examination of recent popular demands for reform.
