Whether you aspire to be a corporate attorney in a large metropolitan area or a family lawyer in a small rural community, at some point in your career you will likely be presented with an international law issue. For this reason, the faculty determined that it was imperative for all Nebraska Law students to have some background in international law. During this 2-credit-hour course, taken in the spring semester, you will learn about the sources of international law and the relationship of international law to the U.S. legal system. The course will also provide an overview of conflict of law rules, a survey of differences and similarities in the major legal systems of the world, and a comparative examination of how foreign legal systems regulate other areas of law. International Perspectives will be co-taught by Nebraska Law Professors Brian Lepard, Matt Schaefer, and Jack Beard.
