LAW 2932 - Product Regulation and Liability in the United States and the European Union


This course undertakes a comparative examination of product regulation and liability within the United States and the European Union. It develops a unifying perspective on laws designed to affect the quantity, quality, cost and price of products, including duties, charges and taxes on imported products; economic regulation, including antitrust considerations; business competition and unfair trade practices; health and safety regulation; liability for injuries caused by products; and consumer protection and social policy. It also examines the interactions among legislative, administrative and judicial actions within the two markets as well as the relationships between treaties (including free trade agreements), federal or union laws, and the laws of member states.

When this course is offered for three credits, it includes an extensive treatment of the common law of products liability within the United States. If three credits are received for this course, credit cannot be received for the course in Products Liability.

Credits: 2 or 3
