CREDITS 2 (LV CP) 3 (ECTS) - 32 Contact Hours
The course introduces students to three key areas of private international law (PIL): 1) international jurisdiction; 2) conflict of laws (applicable law); 3) recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. The course opens with an overview of the notion of PIL, its sources and history. The course continues by introducing students to the theoretical underpinnings of the Brussels Ibis Regulation and teaches its application to practical cases. Final sessions provide students with the necessary theoretical foundation to identify the main characteristics of conflict-of-laws rules and develop their skills of working with the Rome I and Rome II Regulations.
