This course aims to:
a) provide students opportunities to study, on an intensive basis, an existing or emerging area of law so as to meet the challenges of working in a global environment;
b) allow students to be exposed to leading foreign legal scholars who are willing to spend few weeks at our Law School to offer a course; 
c) offer more flexibility to students to plan and complete their studies; and. 
d) develop further the research and analytical abilities of students.

Again, although precise assessment tasks will be determined the visiting faculty and/or the course leader so as to ensure a proper alignment with CILOs and TLAs, few potential assessment tasks are specified below. Taking into account the nature of the subject and the duration of the seminar, the visiting faculty and/or the course leader will decide if the assessment will be wholly by coursework or by a combination of coursework and examination. The nature of examination (whether closed book or open book) will also be determined by the visiting faculty and/or the course leader. The exact assessment tasks will be notified to students at the beginning of the seminar. 

The courses are assessed on pass/ fail basis, students are required to write an essay of 2,000 (for 1 credit course) or 3,000 (for 1.5 credits course) words or other by the course lecturer of the individual course.

To pass the course, students should have an attendance of 75% or above.
