THE GW HATCHET — A new GW Law course offered this spring will help students examine increased international business disputes caused by globalization. Law school officials added the Global Economy and International Disputes course this semester following recommendations from the school’s International and Comparative Law Program to satisfy requirements for new J.D. and L.L.M. concentrations. Kiran Gore, a professorial lecturer of law who is teaching the new course, said global economic transactions have grown as the world becomes more connected, and her class will teach students how international economic disputes can be interpreted and solved through law. “The opportunities to engage with commentary and academic debates is really unique to this class because what we’re really trying to achieve in terms of a thesis for the class is to understand how things unfold in practice, which is very different from what law school classes typically cover, which is basic principles and ideas,” Gore said.
