A super intensive course is an 18-hour course taught from 19 September to 27 September 2026.<\/p>\n\t
LL5383Z<\/span>International Arbitration & the New York Convention<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\tCourse Details<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\tThe New York Convention of 1958 on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards provides for the international enforcement of arbitral awards. Considered as the most successful international convention in international private law, the Convention now has 164 Contracting States and more than 2,500 court decisions interpreting and applying the Convention (as of June 2020). The course will analyze and compare the most important of those decisions. It will offer a unique insight in treaty design, statutory enactments, varying court approaches, and the practice of international arbitration. The course materials will be made available at www.newyorkconvention.org.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>

The course seeks to introduce participants to the role and function of arbitral institutions in guiding and shaping the practice and development of international arbitration, and to the complex issues that arbitral institutions face in the administration of arbitrations, including, among others, the appointment of arbitrators and the issuance of arbitral rules and practice notes. The course will be taught by visiting lecturers from the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) and other leading arbitration practitioners.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>

LL5503<\/span>Civil Law in a Global Perspective<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\tCourse Details<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\tThis course uses civil law as a thematic lens to engage in a selection of issues that are not only global in nature but also shared across most legal systems. The problems include business enterprises\u2019 liability, climate litigation, and the liability of public bodies. The sessions will equip students with knowledge of civil law approaches in these areas and enable them to develop novel legal and regulatory solutions, which are helpful in common law, too. With a focus on diverse issues such as climate change, supply chain liability, and historical injustices, the course seeks to provide a comparative perspective across different legal systems. We will engage with the principles and doctrines of civil law, examining how these are applied to contemporary problems and how they intersect with public policy and issues of international law.<\/p>\n
The course is structured into three modules (A, B, and C), each tackling distinct but interrelated themes: public liability and property rights, climate litigation and historical injustices, and business liability. Throughout these modules, students will be introduced to fundamental aspects of civil law, all while considering their relevance in a globalized world. By the end of the course, students will have developed a nuanced understanding of civil law\u2019s role in shaping legal and regulatory responses to pressing global issues.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>

We investigate how the state organises and exercises power, and how such power is legitimated and controlled. At all times we remain alert to the pathologies of state power – corruption, mismanagement, capture by elites – and what might be done to prevent them. Classic themes surrounding law and state power – such as tensions between technocracy and democracy, bureaucratic rationality and charismatic authority, agency autonomy and political accountability – are given contemporary resonance by studying topical themes of importance, such as populism and illiberal democracy, citizenship deprivation and the politics of pandemic management.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>

They reshape identity formation, transform markets, and challenge democratic institutions. Yet our legal frameworks often lag behind these changes. How should law respond when basic social categories are shifting beneath our feet?<\/p>\n
This course provides tools for understanding these shifts. Unlike traditional technology law courses that focus on specific doctrines, we examine digital transformation as a phenomenon that affects all areas of social life, drawing on social theory, empirical research, and comparative law to build a fuller picture. And we take Asian regulatory approaches seriously, putting Singapore, China, and GCC models alongside American and European ones.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>
