This Handbook on Global Business Law is designed to serve two aims. First, and most importantly, it provides a wide variety of statutory, treaty, and other material to be studied in connection with the text entitled Global Business Law. Second, this Handbook also speaks to practitioners. The materials gathered here include what the author regards as some of the most important materials that a practitioner should have at his or her fingertips as questions arise in practice regarding international business transactions. For both of these purposes to help students in their learning of global business law and to help practitioners and their clients in conducting transactions the author has tried to provide not only the text of the materials themselves, whether they are statutes or treaties or guidelines or sample forms, but also explanatory notes. Many documents used in international business, and appearing in this Handbook, do not make it obvious on their face just what they are and why they matter. The author has tried to provide this information in a "Note" at the beginning of each document in the Handbook. In addition, the author has provided an introductory explanation at the beginning of each of the six Sections into which this Handbook is divided.
