Eksamen den 5. og 6. januar 2012
The aim of the course is to provide the students with an insight into private international law and international arbitration within the field of commercial law.
By participating in the course, the students should attain
The course is aimed at top level students who seek to pursue a career as an attorney-at-law or in-house counsel. By means of introduction, the course will focus on private international law within the European Union. Jurisdiction, choice of law, and enforcement are key topics of this part of the course which amounts to about one third of the whole course. International arbitration, and elements of international commercial law, make up the other two thirds of the course.
The Danish Act on Arbitration, which is based upon the UNCITRAL model law, will be dealt with at some length, as will the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (the New York Convention from 1958), but in general it is the ambition to illustrate and discuss the problems of international arbitration by means of a number of international commercial cases. Some of the international attempts at harmonization of commercial law will also be incorporated into the course.
The course is planned to include a study visit to The London Court of Arbitration and The School of International Arbitration at London University. It is the ambition to include visits to internationally renowned law firms.
The course is a part of the Elite Education Module.
Language skills in English are necessary
Professor Torsten Iversen, LL.D., Ph.D., LL.M. Guest lecturers to be announced.
Lectures, student presentations, question and answer sessions, discussions, moot cases.
The students are expected to be extremely well prepared for each lesson so that questions can be asked, and discussions can take place on the background that the reading prescribed for each lesson is common knowledge to everybody in the class room. Roughly speaking, it is the ambition that, in the lessons, focus will be on cases and discussions, rather than on rules and text book definitions.
Further, the students are expected to participate actively throughout the course, especially by answering questions and participating in discussions, but also, among other things, by making small oral presentations, and by presenting rules or cases. If possible, diminutive moot cases will be set up, in which students are supposed to act as counsel to the claimant and the defendant and as arbitrators.
