This course is not aimed at teaching individual subjects, such as contract law, company law or administrative and constitutional law.What is the medium of instruction? Since the Common Law is expressed and developed in English in case law, the medium of instruction will be in English. Putonghua will only be used if needed to explain some difficult concepts which have no equivalent in the civil law system. Students who wish to take this course must have a working proficiency in both oral and written English. What is the size of the class?
