These may include torts, contracts, criminal law, civil procedure, property, and constitutional law. Many schools also require courses in legal writing and legal research.The second and third years of law school allow a student to concentrate on particular areas of the law such as business, litigation, international, or family law. A number of courses may still be recommend or required such as federal income taxation, corporations, commercial law, and professional ethics. In addition, the second and third years often provide the student with the chance to get some legal experience through legal aid clinics and internships.Law students usually participate in extra-curricular activities that provide them with further useful experience. Law reviews are legal academic journals edited and in part written by students. Membership in law review is usually granted on the basis of first year grades or a writing competition. Moot Court provides students with the opportunity to compete with one another by giving mock oral arguments before a panel of judges.Law school teaching tends to be far more interactive than is common in undergraduate education, despite large classes.

Discrimination occurs when the civil rights of an individual are denied or interfered with because of their membership in a particular group or class.

One of the basic dividing lines between property is that between real property and personal property. Generally, the term real property refers to land. Land, in its general usage, includes not only the face of the earth but everything of a permanent nature over or under it. This includes structures and minerals.教学时数:2 学时教学内容:There are further divisions within the real property classification. The most important are freehold estates, nonfreehold estates, and concurrent estates. (Others are future interests, specialty estates, and incorporeal interests).---Freehold estates are those in which an individual has ownership for an indefinite period of time. An example of a freehold estate is the "fee simple absolute", which is inheritable and lasts as long as the individual and his heirs wants to keep it. Another example is the "life estate", in which the individual retains possession of the land for the duration of his or her life.---Nonfreehold estates are property interests of limited duration. They include tenancy for years, tenancy at will, and tenancy at sufferance.---Concurrent estates exist when property is owned or possessed by two or more individuals simultaneously考核要求:1.What are the roles of government in the field of property law?2.What are the lawyers in the field of property law?3.What are the major areas in real property law?Lesson Twelve:Corporation Law公司法教学要点:A corporation is a legal entity created through the laws of its state of incorporation. Individual states have the power to promulgate laws relating to the creation, organization and dissolution of corporations. The law treats a corporation as a legal "person" that has standing to sue and be sued, distinct from its stockholders. The legal independence of a corporation prevents shareholders from being personally liable for corporate debts. It also allows stockholders to sue the corporation through a derivative suit and makes ownership in the company (shares) easily transferable. The legal "person" status of corporations gives the business perpetual life; deaths of officials or stockholders do not alter the corporation's structure.教学时数:2 学时教学内容:Corporation LawPart one: IntroductionPart two: Forms of businessA.ProprietorshipsB.PartnershipsC.Corporations考核要求:1.What are the main classes of business enterprises in the United States?2.What are the main categories of laws applicable to business enterprises in the United States?3.What are Blue Sky Laws?Lesson Thirteen:Insurance Law保险法教学要点:In the absence of insurance, three possible individuals bear the burden of an economic loss; the individual suffering the loss; the individual causing the loss via negligence or unlawful conduct; or lastly, a particular party who has been allocated the burden by the legislature, such as employers under Workmen's Compensation statutes. While types of insurance vary widely, their primary goal is to allocate the risks of a loss from the individual to a great number of people.教学时数:2 学时教学内容:In general, insurance companies are the safekeepers of the premiums. Because of its importance in maintaining economic stability, the government and the courts use a heavy hand in ensuring these companies are regulated and fair to the consumer.Each individual pays a "premium" into a pool, from which losses are paid out. Regardless of whether the particular individual suffers the loss or not the premium is not returnable.Up until 1944, insurance was not considered "commerce" and not subject to federal regulation. But in United States v. South-Eastern Underwriters Association, the Supreme Court held that Congress could regulate insurance transactions that were truly interstate.考核要求:1.Why do people purchase group insurance for personal needs?2.What are the important of insurance for business?3.What is “key man ” insurance?Lesson Fourteen:Commercial Law商法教学要点:Commercial law governs the broad areas of business, commerce, and consumer transactions. Specific law has developed in a number of commercial fields. The Uniform Commercial Code, which has been substantially adopted as statutory law in nearly every state, governs numerous areas of commercial law.教学时数:2 学时教学内容:Banks and bank accounts are regulated by both state and federal statutory law. Bank accounts may be established by national and state chartered banks and savings associations. All are regulated by the law under which they were established.Bankruptcy law provides for the development of a plan that allows a debtor, who is unable to pay his creditors, to resolve his debts through the division of his assets among his creditors.Credit allows consumers to finance transactions without having to pay the full cost of the merchandise at the time of the transaction.Negotiable instruments are mainly governed by state statutory law.Real estate transactions are governed by a wide body of federal statutes and state statutory and common law.考核要求:1.What is the history of the commerce clause adjudication?2.What does the Supreme Court interpret the commerce clause?Lesson Fifteen:Tax Law税法教学要点:The focus of this lesson is on tax and related issues.

The main objective of these federal enactments was to assure that the environment be protected against both public and private actions that failed to take account of costs or harms inflicted on the eco-system.The EPA was supposed to monitor and analyze the environment, conduct research, and work closely with state and local governments to devise pollution control policies.

In criminal cases, the state brings the suit and must show guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, while in civil cases the plaintiff brings the suit and must only show the defendant is liable by a preponderance of the evidence.The American criminal system is an adversarial and accusatorial model. Criminal procedure must balance the defendant's rights and the state's interests in a speedy and efficient trial with the desire for justice. Therefore, the rules of criminal procedure are designed to ensure that a defendant's rights are protected.教学时数: 2 学时教学内容:Part one : the adversary systemPart two: the accusatorial systemThe burden of proofThe burden of going forward with the evidencePresumption of innocencePart three: standards of proof考核要求:1.How does an adversary system arrive at a decision?2.What is an inquisitorial system?3.How many standards of proof are critical legal standards and what are they?4.What is the key to an accusatorial process of proof?Lesson Twenty One:Rules of Evidence证据规则教学要点:There are two principal questions about evidence that have to be answered.First, what matters and what materials should be admitted into evidence for the jury to consider?Secondly, what use can properly be made by the jurors of those matters and materials that are ruled admissible?教学时数: 2 学时教学内容:Rules of evidence: Admissibility; Relevancy;Weight;Sufficiency;Burden of proofTypes of evidence : direct evidence; indirect evidenceForms of evidence--Testimonial evidence--Tangible evidence--Judicial notice考核要求:1.What do the rules of evidence apply to?2.What is ‘RELEV ANT EVIDENCE”?3.What evidence is not admissible?4.What are the court direct a party to predicate error upon a ruling?Lesson Twenty Two:WTO Rules世贸组织规则教学要点:The WTO’s procedure for resolving trade quarrels under the Dispute Settlement Understanding is vital for enforcing the rules and therefore for ensuring that trade flows smoothly.A dispute arises when a member government believes another member government is violating an agreement or a commitment that it has made in the WTO. The authors of these agreements are the member governments themselves —the agreements are the outcome of negotiations among members. Ultimate responsibility for settling disputes also lies with member governments, through the Dispute Settlement Body.教学时数: 2 学时教学内容:A unique contributionDispute settlement is the central pillar of the multilateral trading system, and the WTO’s unique contribution to the stability of the global economy. Without a means of settling disputes, the rules-based system would be less effective because the rules could not be enforced. The WTO’s procedure underscores the rule of law, and it makes the trading system more secure and predictable. The system is based on clearly-defined rules, with timetables for completing a case. First rulings are made by a panel and endorsed (or rejected) by the WTO’s full membership. Appeals based on points of law are possible.---Principles: equitable, fast, effective, mutually acceptable---First stage: consultation (up to 60 days).--- Second stage: the panel (up to 45 days for a panel to be appointed, plus 6 months for the panel to conclude).---Appeals考核要求:1.How are disputes settled?2.What is DSU?3.What is DSB?三、推荐教材和参考书目1.《法律英语》,何家弘,第二版,法律出版社,20042.《法律英语教程》,沙丽金、林萍,中国政法大学出版社,20003.《法律英语》,董世忠、赵建,复旦大学出版社,19974.《法律英语核心教程》,杜金榜、张新红,对外经济贸易大学出版社,2002执笔人:申静审核人:张道功审定:法学院。
