[ Litigation ] as a Related Elective for those interested in Corporate Governance : If you expect to work with businesses or banks seeking access to international markets, you will benefit from an understanding of the way U.S. corporate capitalism differs from that of other countries. Corporate lawyers have to be familiar with U.S. corporate governance rules, but they provide better counsel to clients with global operations when they understand the rules governing ownership and control of business entities in other jurisdictions.

As part of this exercise, we'll look at the ways in which organizations and organizational law have evolved in different countries, and we'll speculate on the directions in which they'll continue to evolve in the future.
