| Overall Educational Objective | Learning the practical aspects of commercial law that are relevant in the legal career and their common applications | ||||
| Course Description | It is beyond dispute that the knowledge of a newly graduated law student is insufficient for a career as lawyer, yet the current system allows newly graduate law students to become lawyer within one year. This obsolescent practice causes incompetent and unready lawyers, especially in the matter of commercial law. This course tends to prepare its participants to acknowledge common practices that they will face in their professional life. |
