Law in Crisis: Legal Practice in Conflict Zones and Unstable Markets

0.5 credits · Law School

This course examines how lawyers advise clients, structure transactions, and maintain practices in conflict zones, sanctioned jurisdictions, and economically unstable markets. Drawing on case studies from regions experiencing active conflict, sanctions regimes, currency crises, and institutional breakdown, students will explore how legal frameworks adapt (or fail to adapt) when the assumptions underlying ordinary practice, functioning courts and predictable regulation no longer hold.
