Studying and Teaching International Economic Law

The Institute of International Economic Law does not itself conduct courses, because Georgetown Law has an enormous program of education in International Economic Law, but the Institute awards a Certificate in WTO Studies to Georgetown Law students who fulfill special course requirements on WTO related issues, as a complement to their LL.M and J.D. degrees. The Institute also has been instrumental in encouraging the inclusion of some courses and seminars in the Georgetown Law curriculum, and has assisted professors who have an interest in IEL subjects.  In addition, the Institute has provided some training for developing country officials (in China and Vietnam), and since 2006 has conducted an annual Academy of WTO Law and Policy, which is a week-long professional development course. 

The Institute is committed to fostering the study and teaching of international economic law around the world, and therefore provides the following information on courses taught at Georgetown Law and elsewhere, including syllabi for certain courses, and materials to assist instructors in this field.
