DOING BUSINESS IN EMERGING MARKETS ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR WILLIAM P. JOHNSON

(2 Credits) Engaging in business transactions across borders naturally presents significant risks and opportunities, legal and otherwise, and many of the risks and opportunities are different from those presented by simply doing business at home. This is true no matter where the international business transaction takes place. However, when a company engages in a business transaction in an emerging market, where there might be a rapidly changing legal landscape, unfamiliar business practices, political risk, unusual economic growth, and distinctive business opportunities, the additional issues can be especially challenging to navigate.

In this course, students will examine some of the significant legal and business issues that arise when companies engage in business transactions in emerging markets. In addition to an overview of the challenges of doing

variety of disparate legal systems deal with issues in health care law and is designed to demonstrate that there are very different solutions to health law dilemmas than those commonly considered in the American context. The course is organized around the notion of rights. It begins with a comprehensive examination of the right to health and its implementation, including a section generally describing how health care systems are organized and function. The remainder of the course will review topics within three broad areas: the rights of patients in their relationships with health care professionals and institutions (negligence, informed consent, confidentiality); the right of patients to autonomous decision making (bioethics); and the interface between the rights of individuals and the interests of society (public health issues). The course will assume no knowledge of American health law and therefore will be suitable for students entering their second as well as third years of legal studies.

INTERNATIONAL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW (WITH OPTIONAL TRIP TO GENEVA, SWITZERLAND) ASSISTANT PROFESSOR ERIKA COHN

(H) (2 Credits) In today’s global economy, creative works, technological inventions, and brand equity are vital assets. The copyright, patent, and trademark laws designed to protect and regulate these assets are national, but the use of these assets frequently

business in an emerging market, the course will include coverage of compliance with anticorruption law, protection of intellectual property, financing transactions, planning for dispute resolution, and corporate social responsibility. Particular attention will likely be given to doing business in Russia and other former Soviet states, China, and certain jurisdictions in Latin America.

EUROPEAN HUMAN RIGHTS LAW PROFESSOR IGNACIO BORRAJO INIESTA

(H) (2 Credits) This course provides an overview of the protection of civil and political rights in Europe, both those protected by the European Convention on Human Rights and European Union law. It will focus on recent developments, including the new Lisbon Treaty (effective December 2009) and the situation of new and old democracies since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. It will also examine the case law of the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union. Some selected areas shall be emphasized, such as the right to life and physical integrity, international migrations, and linguistic, religious and cultural pluralism.

GLOBAL HEALTH LAW AND POLICY PROFESSOR JESSE A. GOLDNER

(H) (2 Credits) This course will explore a variety of selected topics in comparative health law. It will focus on developing an understanding of how a

crosses national borders. This course will introduce students to the international dimension of intellectual property law and will examine the fundamental questions of territoriality, national treatment, jurisdiction, and choice of law. We will survey key international agreements, including the Paris Convention, the Berne Convention, and the WTO Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property (TRIPS). The implementation of these agreements within the United States and other countries will also be discussed. In addition, we will explore political and policy concerns related to international intellectual property, including the enforcement of rights in developing countries and the connection between patent issues and access to medicines. At the end of the course, there will be an optional visit to Geneva, Switzerland where students will be able to meet with staff at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and tour the World Trade Organization (WTO) where the major IP treaties are administered.

INTRODUCTION TO THE CIVIL LAW SYSTEMS PROFESSOR JAVIER MARTINEZ-TORRÓN

(H) (1 Credit) This course provides an introduction to the civil law tradition as it has developed in today’s continental European legal systems. Students will be introduced to historical sources of the civil law tradition, such as Roman and Canon Law and the Code Napoleon. Students will

gain an understanding of how and why the tradition of codified law developed on the European continent in contrast to the common law tradition in England. The basic structure, principles and jurisprudence of the civil law systems will be explored and compared to those of the common law, leading the student to appreciate the strengths and weaknesses of both traditions. Students will also study the areas in which trends toward convergence or divergence of civil law and common law can be identified, and the questions they raise in the context of the European unification process. Particular attention will be given to the development of the civil law tradition in Spain and to Spanish procedure and jurisdiction, as well as to EU legal institutions. The course will not presuppose any knowledge of the civil law tradition or comparative law.

RULE OF LAW IN THE FORMER SOVIET REPUBLICS PROFESSOR LORENA BACHMAIER WINTER

(H) (1 Credit) In December 1991 the Soviet Union disintegrated into 15 separate states. Since then, one of the major challenges has been the building up of new legal systems based on the democratic principles and the rule of law. Political stability is necessary for economic growth and both need an adequate legal framework that promotes justice, security and equality, capable of providing legal certainty and trust in the institutions. The recent

Maidan events in Ukraine and the subsequent annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation, together with the armed conflict in the Eastern regions of this country show how fragile the rule of law principle is in these states. In this course the students will have an overview on the major challenges in facing the establishment of democracies based on the rule of law in former soviet republics, with a special focus in certain crucial areas as the justice system and the protection of human rights in selected countries.

INTRODUCTION TO SPANISH PROFESSOR JULIO LASARTE

(No Credit) This non-credit, hour-long introductory Spanish language class will be held every Monday through Thursday between May 26 and June 24. It will not conflict with other classes.

ADVANCED SPANISH FOR THE PROFESSIONAL SETTING PROFESSOR TBD

(No Credit) For those students who have a background in Spanish, this non-credit, hour-long advanced Spanish language course will focus on developing Spanish language skills used in the professional setting.

Please note: SLU LAW reserves the right to cancel any course, including one or both of the Spanish language courses, in case of insufficient student enrollment.
