AREAS OF FOCUS

they are not large, but also the increase in international activity by governments and regional bodies, translates into complexity and new exposure to, or confrontation with, international legal issues. The exponential rise in international transactions and in the movement of people, goods and services has ensured that legal systems must adapt to this new transnational reality. Almost every field of law now contains a substantial international element. Training students in a variety of international law subjects equips them to practice in a legal world necessarily reaching beyond national borders. The Law School offers a wide array of international courses. These offerings stress the impact of multiple legal systems on transnational actors and their public activities or private transactions, as well as the resolution of related disputes. The courses focus on the role of the lawyer in a world system and global economy.
