Commercial Law: Thinking of ArgumentPosted by Larson Coleman on June 23rd, 2021 Comparative Legal Studies: Commerce and Culture were designed as a supplement to courses in Comparative Law. It deals with the issues surrounding culture and commerce, with particular emphasis on economic issues, culture and merchandise markets. The book is structured as an introductory class on comparative studies, and thus the content normally changes with each session. This text is a comparative study of law, contracts, copyrights, patents and intellectual property. Copyright Law covers patent and copyright issues, including modern day problems like the"ornia wipe out" and the"shine thing." Comparative Commercial Contracts focuses on economic processes and institutions, such as contract law, intellectual property law, landlord-tenant associations, corporate finance, commercial law, employment law and statehood. A clear focus is the analysis of how people and institutions interact in the market, and how the practice of private contract enforcement affects these interactions. Private commercial law is extremely different from that of the common law, because unlike the common law, it does not require the state's intervention to protect the rights of people. Private contracts are therefore subject to the careful oversight of both the state and the national government.
Comparative Commercial Law addresses a variety of important issues, such as intellectual property, contract law, landlord-tenant connection problems, corporate finance, employment law, and statehood. Moreover, there are a few specializations in this area which deal only with a couple of related areas. By way of example, an individual might get a concentration on litigation and practice in commercial contract law, or one which would concentrate in landlord-tenant relationship. Comparative law courses teach law students the extensive range of information that's accessible to them via a comparative analysis of civil law, common law, international law, and patent law. Thus, law students who choose to specialize in law will also have an enriched understanding of legal documents and their citations, and the historical development of lawenforcement.
Industrial law and business litigation are extremely different from the common law practice of protecting individual's legal rights against business competitors and/or other disreputable external parties. Contrary to the common law, the federal government, by statute or common law, can't intervene in the majority of commercial disputes. Therefore,
commercial law litigators must work closely with local officials, and frequently with the United States attorney, to aggressively pursue disreputable conduct in the commercial marketplace. It is significant for business litigators to fully understand the community regulatory environment. For example, many regional governments have enacted comprehensive litigation protection statutes in response to widespread complaints about anti-business practices.
The litigation department at George Washington University focuses its focus on commercial law, including complex contractual disputes, issues surrounding intellectual property, and cases involving the commercial transportation industry. Professor Steven Greenlaw, a past president of the American Society of Business Editors and Writers, and an adjunct professor at the University of Virginia School of Law, directs law and business research jobs at George Washington University. He's served as an acting Associate Editor of Legal Reviews and as a contributor to Litigation Digest. His books include"Suing Google," a New York Times best seller;"The Strategic Economy: Corporate Litigation and Intellectual Property Rights," a volume co-authored with Associate Editor Robert Kaplan and University of California-Irvine Professor Emeritus Carol D Terry; and"The Hidden Cost of Low- priced Employee Health Insurance," co-authored with Kenneth W. White, III.
Besides being a professor at George Washington University, Professor Greenlaw serves on the boards of directors of the American Association for the Advancement of Cosmetic Surgery, American Association for Retired Persons, and the National Academy of Legal Research. He is also an adjunct professor in the American Bar Association and serves on the boards of the Association of Personal Injury Attorneys, the National Organization for the Settlement Profession, and the National Federation of Professional Debt Arbitrators. All these entities represent clients in commercial disputes which range from personal injury to asbestos claims. For that reason, they're well-versed in the present litigation landscape and can provide sound legal counsel to clients facing challenges with regard to business contracts, intellectual property, and tort law.
One of Professor Greenlaw's most recent books is a very timely call for action on the patent and copyright industries. The report,"spilling the water: patent and copyright laws in the USA," which was published in the ABA Journal, highlights the need for changing the present system so that it appropriately accommodates the needs of both the technologies and the business communities. This book makes excellent use of current financial theory to explain why the current system doesn't adequately serve the interests of all stakeholders.
Greenlaw isn't the only adjunct professor at George Washington University who is concerned about our broken patent and copyright system. Many of his former law school colleagues are outspoken advocates for changing the system, and they openly admit that the current regime is seriously broken. Several of these exact attorneys work at the Center for Patent Law at George Washington University, one of the country's leading legal research centres. This is the same institution from which many law firms decide to draw their graduates so as to practice law. The writers of the highly engaging, and occasionally controversial, novel are well respected scholars, and hopefully others will see the light on these issues and take the tips in this book to heart.
