This is a draft of the Table of Contents of the forthcoming Documents collection. The Documents will accompany my Text, Cases, and Materials on International Business Transactions, forthcoming from Carolina Academic Press. There will also be a Teachers' Manual. The three volume set is intended for advanced graduate students and younger practitioners and takes a distinctly practice oriented
... [Show full abstract] approach. It will include dozens of model contracts, checklists, and flow-charts for the analysis of the most common issues in international sales and related transactions. To make this set as useful as possible, I am requesting your help and advice. If you have a few minutes, please take a look at the draft table of contents of the Documents volume and let me know if any important documents are missing. Since space is at a premium, some choices had to be made but they are not cast in stone. For example, should the 2011 Draft Regulation on a European Sales Law (CESL) be included? What about the 2001 UN Convention on Receivables Financing? And the Uniform Rules for Forfaiting URF 800? The General Rules for Int’l Factoring GRIF? Should electronic contracting be in a separate part? Which documents would you include? In the insurance chapter, would you include only the Institute Cargo Clauses A or also B and C? For space reasons the GATT and other WTO Agreements are not in here. I have them in another collection. Makes sense? Should I at least have the TRIPS for the Chapter on IPRs? What else would be highly desirable? What could be thrown out to save space? How would a perfect collection have to look for you to take it to int’l litigation and arbitration proceedings? You can send comments on ResearchGate or by e-mail to femmert@iupui.edu. Thank you very much in advance!!!
