Overview

The Master in International Commercial Law at the University of Johannesburg consists of the modules International Commercial Law A, B and C, as well as a minor dissertation on a topic in International Commercial Law. International Commercial Law A and B are offered during the first semester and International Commercial Law C during the second.

What you will learn

The LLM programme provides the student with an overview of the private-law aspects of international trade, with an emphasis on private-international legal issues.

The conflicts-orientation of the course indeed makes it unique and a wide comparative approach is taken in this regard, comprising legal systems in Africa, Asia, Australasia, Europe, North America and South America, together with the relevant regional, supranational and international instruments in this field.

The various modules in International Commercial Law provide students with analytical and problem-solving skills for a challenging multi-levelled global legal landscape. Students are introduced to a wide range of national legal systems and legal instruments on a regional, supranational and international level (uniform law). These rules may be of a substantive nature but could also take the form of conflicts rules (private international law), referring the particular substantive issue to a national legal system or a regional or international substantive instrument.
