Parma Program Curriculum Summer 2008

Leuven, Belgium
European Union Law (2 credits)

The European Union is the largest trading partner of the U.S., and the growth of multinational and integrated business activities between two continents has a substantial impact on the practice of law in this country.  This course provides a basic foundation for understanding an entire legal system which has been developed in modern times.  It studies the institutions and legal principles which govern this regime, some of which have been borrowed from the American experience and some which are still in the process of formulation.

Parma, Italy
 
Electronic Commerce ( 2 credits)

The course will consider issues related to information (including rules for protecting information, intellectual property and privacy) and various types of transactions in the electronic contexts (sales between businesses and/or consumers, website issues, and payments), as well as cross-border dispute-resolution issues. Particular emphasis will be placed on the social, political, and economic issues underlying those legal doctrines.
