[blindlaw] Handling Quoted Materials in Class?

[Elizabeth Akinola]

International Business Transactions; International Economic Law; 
International Sales Law; ADR--which included International Arbitration.  I 
had previously taken other classes in a Masters degree program in 
International law and diplomacy including:  International  Civil Rights 
litigation; Diplomacy and Modern Diplomatic Practice;  International Human 
Rights Law; Law of Armed Conflicts;  General Principles of International 
Law;  and Law of the Sea.

Why do ask?  Are you interested in International Law?  If yes, I hope this 
helps!
