International Commercial Contracts and Dispute Resolution: A Practical English-Language Course

Course Description:
This interdisciplinary course is designed for advanced law students, legal practitioners, and professionals working in international business who wish to enhance their understanding of international commercial contracts and cross-border dispute resolution—all while strengthening their command of Legal English.

Combining the study of international contract law (with emphasis on instruments like the CISG, UNIDROIT Principles, and common law traditions) with practical training in contract drafting, negotiation, and interpretation, this course offers a hands-on approach to the real-world legal and linguistic challenges of international commerce.

Participants will explore the life cycle of an international contract—from offer and acceptance to enforcement and dispute resolution—while developing practical legal writing skills in English. Topics include performance obligations, breach and remedies, boilerplate clauses, arbitration, mediation, and the formulation of effective dispute resolution clauses. Legal concepts are reinforced with exercises that target English grammar, legal vocabulary, drafting precision, and argumentation.

By the end of the course, students will be able to:

• Analyze, draft, and interpret international commercial contracts in English.

• Apply legal reasoning and clear communication in cross-border legal settings.

• Understand the legal and linguistic features of dispute resolution processes.

• Demonstrate increased confidence in using Legal English in a professional environment.
