On Thursday, March 30, 2017, the University of Belgrade Faculty of Law had a pleasure of hosting two prominent legal scholars from USA and UK.

This lecture was followed by the lecture given by Prof. Larry DiMatteo, Huber Hurst Professor of Contract Law & Legal Studies at the Warrington College of Business of the University of Florida, also an award winning academic, who spoke on the topic of “The God, The Bad and The Ugly” while disucssing the “bad man theory”, contract interpretation, differences between American and English Common Law, CISG, European Sales Law, law of excuse, hard-soft law continuum, and global legal pluralism.
