W74 LAW 619BInternational Courts and Tribunals2.0 Units
Description:Enrollment limit: 12. This 2 unit course focuses upon the practice and procedure before international courts and tribunals that emphasize international civil dispute resolution. The primary focus will be on the International Court of Justice ("ICJ"). Students will examine the ICJ's history, organization, competence and role as a permanent international institution and mechanism for the pacific settlement of disputes between States. With respect to the practice component of the course, students will be exposed to the rules of procedure and style of practice before the ICJ through the use of a hypothetical contentious case between two States. Students will learn how a case is brought before the ICJ and how various procedural and preliminary matters such as jurisdiction, standing and admissibility are addressed before the Court. Particular attention will be paid to the jurisprudence of the ICJ with respect to such issues. Students will also learn how to make substantive legal arguments on the merits before the ICJ. In doing so, students will gain exposure to substantive international law in the form of international human rights law represented by various human rights instruments and customary international law. Students will gain experience in researching and using various international legal materials and sources necessary for making oral and written submissions before the ICJ. Students will also gain practical experience in drafting written memorials and pleadings for submission to the ICJ, as well as making oral arguments based on such written submissions. Although not required, it would be helpful to have taken or be taking International Law.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
