Abstract
Case studies are very effective pedagogical tools available to business and legal educators. Hypothetical fact patterns provide instructors an additional advantage of being able to modify facts to target particular learning goals for students. This article presents a substantial case study and teaching notes for a hypothetical international sale of goods transaction. The facts presented will necessitate student research and examination of a wide range of legal issues related to contract negotiation and interpretation, shipping and related difficulties that might arise during contract execution, and issues related to disputes over the quality of goods. Questions in the study require students to research and apply various aspects of the Convention for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), financing options for buyers and sellers, options for reducing risk, use of terms of trade (INCOTERMS) and risk of loss, Carriage of Goods by Sea Act (COGSA), Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), and legal issues related to dispute resolution and jurisdiction in international business. The intent of the questions is to guide students to analyze and practically apply international business principles they have been exposed to in their studies. The case study is suitable for graduate level courses with facts and questions tailorable in either number or complexity for other students as the instructor desires.
