Globalization and the Law (Winn)(Aut-Win-Spr 1-1-1)
This seminar will consider what impact globalization is having on the governments of nation-states and intergovernmental organizations. Specific topics may include private self-regulation and standard setting, global administrative law, hard law versus soft law, corporate social responsibility, and information technology networks. All students will be required to write a research paper of at least 30 pages/10,000 words; students may use this paper to meet the JD Advanced Writing Requirement with the permission of the instructor. Research papers may be on any topic related to globalization and the law chosen in consultation with the instructor, e.g., topics related to international trade law, international labor law, international environmental law, international banking, securities or insurance law, international criminal law, international human rights law, international intellectual property or electronic commerce law, or national security law. Assigned readings for class discussion will include academic commentaries on globalization and the law, and a detailed examination of the globalization of payment systems as a case study. The class will meet during Autumn-Winter-Spring, but only one time per month. In Autumn-Winter, the class will meet a total of 3 times per quarter for 3 hours per meeting; in Spring, the class will only meet twice for 4 hours per meeting. In Spring 2014, students will present their research to the class.
