During the semester, we have started every class with discussing a current event and analyzing it from a legal point of view. Finally, we discussed the business implications of such legal assessment and the steps a business-person could take to protect against the risks caused by these events. First, we discussed how the World Health Organization categorized it then as an epidemic. Then we discussed how that could be considered as an event rendering a contract impossible to perform (Force Majeure). Finally, we talked about the possible ways a business-person could reduce such risks (e.g., including such protection in the contract and purchasing the necessary insurance in advance).

For your class project, write a 1000-work paper following the same approach and covering the following elements:

1. Pick a relevant and current event.

2. Describe how this event relates to one of the topics covered during the course (for instance, contracts, documentary sales, international transportation, World Trade Organization, public international law, intellectual property, trade sanctions).

3. Conduct a legal assessment of such event applying the elements discussed in the relevant chapter.

4. Discuss the business implications of such event and what steps a business-person could take to reduce the risks presented by the situation or benefit from it.

This a course called International Business law and Its Environment. Some of the few topics of our lectures that we studied were( Regulating Import Competition and Unfair Trade), (Export Controls and Sanctions),(Imports, Customs, and Tariff Law),(The European Union) and (The Legal Environment of Foreign Direct Investment).

Please feel free to discuss about any events that occurred and use the concept of how international business law was, can or should have been be applied. Anything would do. Thank you and much appreciated

FOR EXAMPLE: the famous fight between china and america fighting over chicken feet. you can talk about that event and how they sued one another and what law did they use. etc
