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, we now require that all Nebraska Law students have some background in international law. During this spring semester, 2 credit hour course, you will learn about the sources of international law and the relationship of international law to the U.S. legal system. The course also provides an overview of conflict of laws 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 (http://law.unl.edu/facstaff/faculty/resident/blepard.shtml), Matt Schaefer (http://law.unl.edu/facstaff/faculty/resident/mschaefer.shtml) and Jack Beard (http://law.unl.edu/facstaff/faculty/resident/jbeard.shtml).
