This practice-oriented course will provide students with an understanding of transnational litigation and how it differs from other forms of international dispute resolution. Students will learn how to respond to and handle concurrent proceedings in multiple jurisdictions and learn practical matters such as enforcement (or avoiding enforcement) of court judgments from other jurisdictions, in particular from common-law jurisdiction such as the United States. Students will also be enabled to apply the tools provided by Swiss and international law to a cross-border litigation case. |
