This class for LLM students (and perhaps the occasional intrepid JD) focuses on the illuminating differences among countries in addressing similar issues in consumer law and economic justice. Students will choose the 5 or 6 topics that the course will explore – past years have included consumer privacy, tenants' rights/evictions, credit reporting, class actions and aggregate litigation, product liability, and e-commerce. This year: cryptocurrency, perhaps? Price-gouging during a pandemic? You decide.
Each session, all students research how their home country addresses that week's issue and present their research to the class.
