Abstract
The author submits that the 1980 United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods (the “CISG”) serves as an effective tool to teach and learn comparative contract law. This work attempts to contribute to the scholarship and teaching of comparative contract law by unveiling the CISG as a material that may successfully set the students’ learning process into motion. The author demonstrates how students can discover knowledge about foreign legal systems by decomposing the content and design of the CISG with the professor’s help. The author offers some guidelines on how to use the CISG to overcome the apparent difficult questions of comparative contract law and suggests some starting point exercises to teach comparative contract law through the CISG.
