We kindly invite students of the VU Law Faculty to participate in lectures on topic “Introduction to The American System of Government, its Courts and Civil Litigation in the United States”. This course will be held by Richard A. Rosen, who specializes in litigation involving the federal statutes that regulate public companies and the process by which they sell shares to investors, as well as the laws that prescribe the obligations of the officers and directors of American corporations.

This ten day course, consisting of a two hour seminar meeting daily for a two week period, provides an overview of how civil litigation is conducted in the United States, starting with an overview of the American system of government and a critical examination of the role of the Supreme Court and some of its most controversial recent decisions and then proceeding to a review of how litigation is actually conducted, using class actions under the federal securities laws as a concrete illustration.

The course will also address current “hot topics” in American corporate law. Students will also have the opportunity to conduct a settlement negotiation and receive feedback on their strategies.

We kindly ask you to register. Registration is open until March 25
