Essay

The mid-term essay is supposed to be a case study.  

It is to be devoted to an actual international business case: you should analyze legal aspects of the case and draw practical conclusions.  

The plan of the essay is approximately as follows (this is also an approximate plan for reporting a case): 

(1) introduction (what it is about and why it is important), 

(2) facts, 

(3) applicable legal rules, 

(4) application of the rules to the facts, 

(5) discussion (including your personal opinions on the relevant issues), 

(6) practical conclusions.  

The essay should have about 2,000-3,000 words.

For those who have reported cases in class, I suggest to use the case he or she has reported as the essay topic.  Those who have not reported cases yet, may either find a case to his or her taste, or use any of the cases I have mentioned during lectures, or else ask me for further cases.  

If you do not like the case-study idea, you may suggest your own topic for the essay. Write me and we will discuss it.
