This class explores art, what it is, and how it is bought and sold. This will be a compressed course, but we will cover a good amount of material. You will see this topic involves an intersection of several areas, including contracts, sales, property, intellectual property, civil procedure, and conflict resolution. While our focus will be on art, the course will explore these topics in a way that will inform other course work and practice. We will use our time in Venice to explore topics which will shape your practice after law school. Specifically exploring cross-cultural experiences in a professional setting and examining larger questions of how law reflects societal values. Those who are interested will also have the opportunity to gain practical experience that will directly translate to practice.
