The foundational courses of the Master of Global Management with a concentration in global legal studies lead to mastery of the relevant legal principles while developing legal analysis skills, mainly through case briefings, such as identifying a particular case's legal issue, articulating the legal rule, discussing the court's analysis and concluding. These legal analysis skills are tested on final exams in the foundational courses through hypothetical fact scenarios. Students gain and master the ability to understand legal principles --- the basis of legal analysis --- and to apply them in their field of interest.
