Study

This section analyze the topics listed in the course description by reviewing U.S. and foreign case law, statutes, treaties, and several hypothetical and real-world problems. A recurring theme will be the Chevron-Ecuador lit igation, an ongoing legal dispute raising many of the topics in the course. A nontechnical overview of the litigation appears in Reversal of Fortune, a New Yorker article assigned for the first class session. There will also be an evening screening of the documentary film Crude and other materials relating to the suit.
