Study Abroad: Courses For the summer 2005 program, the following courses will be offered in English: Transnational Commercial Law Co-taught by Prof. Jorge Esquirol from FIU and Prof. Miguel Angel Adame of the Universidad de Sevilla. (3 credits) This course offers an overview of three foundational areas in the field of commercial law: sales, payment systems and negotiable instruments. It presents the student with the core doctrines and issues relating to the Uniform Commercial Code in the United States. As such, it complements the basic series of commercial law courses in U.S. law schools. Additionally, the materials introduce the student to the Spanish law in all these same areas. Spanish doctrines and relevant issues are presented in tandem with the U.S. legal materials. Comparing and contrasting the two systems offers the student greater insight into the choices, interests and policies pursued under each respective system of law. Comparative Law: Constitutions, Institutions and the judicial process Co-taught by Prof. M. C. Mirow from FIU and Prof. Blanca Rodríguez Ruiz from Universidad de Sevilla. (3 credits) This course introduces the major legal traditions in the contemporary world while focusing on public law and related institutions. A broad comparative and historical framework provides the basis for closer study of topics including constitutions, constitutional actions, courts, judicial review, judicial process, administrative law, and the legal profession. Special emphasis is placed on Spain and Latin America. Readings and discussion in class are supplemented with visits to Spanish legal institutions in Sevilla and Madrid.
