LA-123 Legal Methodology

This module will be available only for visiting exchange students from Chinese partner universities.
LA-124 Fundamental Principles of International Trade Law

This module will be available only for visiting exchange students from Chinese partner universities.
LA-300 Applied Commercial Law and International Business Practices

Contemporary concerns originating in market and business failures sufficiently indicate the vital importance of business law for accountability and performance. Taking account of the rapid developments in this field, this module offers students an unique opportunity to explore business law on a broad spectrum. It allows for an investigation into new and dynamic issues pertinent to the operation of businesses in the international context, including intellectual assets management, international payment and transactions, the governance of businesses and aspects of insolvency and personal responsibility. Designed to accommodate both legal and commercial perspectives, it allows students to obtain an understanding of cutting edge developments in a number of discrete legal areas.
LA-M01 Law of International Trade

This module elaborates and analyses (a) the legal and commercial issues associated with international sale contracts; (b) the organization and content of such contracts; and (c) how parties can engineer satisfactory solutions through adjusting the terms of their agreement against a background of freedom of contract. The concentration will be on the rules of English law: but reference will be made where relevant to other regimes, including the Uniform Commercial Code and the 1980 Vienna Convention on the International Sale of Goods. We identify the principal categories of international sale and commodity contracts; in addition, we give extended attention to the INCOTERMS 2020 (both shipping-related and non-shipping-related) promulgated by the International Chamber of Commerce. Our examination of the legal relationship between international sellers and buyers includes questions of general sales law; of ownership, title and risk; of force majeure; of the commercial and legal significance of transport documentation and insurance; and of the question of remedies. We will make time available time to discuss contemporary issues as they arise, such as the harmonisation of international trade law, and issues associated with containerisation and multi-modal transport.
LACM24 Commercial and Maritime Mooting

The module adopts a holistic and practical approach to teaching international and transnational dispute settlement by using the medium of mooting. In particular, the module offers advocacy training and innovative teaching in commercial and maritime arbitration and adjudication. Teaching is offered through a combination of seminars and advocacy labs. The module employs audio visual study aids, a unique teaching method inspired by the Harvard Case Method. The syllabus covers key skills in oral and written advocacy in international and transnational arbitration and adjudication.
LAMM20 Oil and Gas Law: Contracts and Liabilities

The aim of this module is to provide an account of the contractual framework governing the production, sale and distribution of oil and gas. It deals with many of the unique commercial and financial arrangements engaged. The module also addresses liability matters which are commonly associated with daily operational hazards of the joint venture, including environmental damage and personal injury.
LAMM30 Offshore Energy Law

Offshore energy resources include hydrocarbon resources, such as oil and gas, and renewable energy (including those that come from wind and ocean currents). Offshore energy law deals with many different issues, some examples are the extraction of (renewable) energy resources and the environmental impact of such activities. The module will focus both on offshore renewable energy resources but include areas which might also be relevant to hydrocarbon resources (e.g. oil and gas). Our prosperity, progress and mobility are heavily indebted to utilising hydrocarbon resources for energy. Oil and gas are transportable, still relatively cheap and comparatively abundant sources of energy. They are also the fundamental ingredient in many of the products that we use daily and the engine of economic growth in many parts of our globalised world. Although hydrocarbons still power the majority of the world, there has been a large expansion on the discussion, research and implementation of renewable energy over the past two decades. This trend seems to be growing with both developed and developing states pledging action and investment in the development of these new, cleaner technologies. One background to this development is that there are risks involved in relying heavily on fossil fuels ¿ including environmental devastation, dependence on an often-volatile international market, and depletion of a finite resource. Renewables promise solutions to all of these problems but face challenges of their own, including the consistent failure of States to meet both international and national targets, a general downturn in renewable energy investment (especially during the last half decade), the expense and difficulty of establishing the infrastructure necessary to implement these renewable energies, and the fact that science has yet to make these technologies as cheap and efficient as their polluting rivals. This module aims to provide the students with an understanding of the international and transnational legal frameworks governing offshore (renewable) energy resources and the offshore energy sector.
LAS002 Legal Reasoning and Jurisprudence 2

This second Legal Reasoning module steps away from the theory and moves into a more practical framework and moves the learning objective away from `What the rules are¿ to `How can the rules be used¿. Looks at case law (as the primary source of academic and professional research), explores which parts of a judgment can create precedent and bind other courts. Key cases are exemplified and worked through which allow the student to build upon the legalese and academic language used in Legal Reasoning 1. Further, students break down the reason for the judge¿s decision (ratio decidendi) to see what points of law caused the judge to rule in that particular way, and whether any analogies can be useful (obiter dicta). Practice exam sessions and revision classes towards the end of the course will prepare student for the final assessment of preparing a case brief for a partner at a law firm.
LAS004 Academic English 2

This second module builds on Academic English 1 by stepping from vocabulary focus, more towards grammar and clauses at a sentence level. It will span across all skills areas thereby developing writing, reading, speaking and listening proficiency. The theme remains in the general field of company law, but there is a concerted effort in role-playing between client and lawyer in the spoken and written output which follow from the lecture and workshop input on the topic. The spoken and written work will reaffirm the vocabulary and grammar that the students have been learning for the duration of Academic English 1 and 2. Practice exam sessions and revision classes towards the end of the course will prepare student for the final assessment.
