Purpose:

This group assignment aims to evaluate students' legal research skills by familiarising themselves with their selected International legal case. Students will need to critically evaluate the background of the case matter (dispute), identify the facts, state the legal issues, put forward both individual parties' arguments, examine the tribunal's decision and consider the importance of the case in international law.

1. Select a case from the list of International Law Cases below or refer to the ICJ or WTO websites.

2. One member of each group will need to post a message to the discussion board advising all of the other students about which case has been selected. This is very important.

3. The Unit Co-Ordinator will respond to each group's post on the discussion board and grant
approval of the selected case, provided that it has not already been selected.

4. Research, read and understand your selected International Legal case in groups of four (4) students.
