Learning Outcomes

TopThe WTO is at the legal center of globalization. NAFTA is the prototype for an eventual Free Trade of the Area of the Americas. This course has professional and intellectual objectives. Professionally it aims to equip you to handle the principal WTO and NAFTA legal disciplines with proficiency and confidence. Intellectually it aims to understand globalization and its discontents in a critical an rigorous manner eschewing the bombast of the fierce public debate about these issues.

This is a demanding course requiring regular attendance, consistent preparation and class room engagement. Do not enroll if you plan to coast but the rewards are commensurate with the effort. Non American LLMs should not be scared away by the high demands of this course. They typically do as well in this course as their US counterparts.
