Every so often, we'll review what we find on YouTube that could be used for legal research or education. On the topic of Contract Law, we find Legalmax.info. It has "Contract Law lectures, Contract Law tutorials, Contract Law tips, a Contract Law essay ranking exercise, Contract Law cases & materials, Sale of Goods lectures, & as an added extra: a Web Law Library."
We also find Diana Wallis' remarks before European Parliament on European Contract Law and an episode from the UCBerkeley Graduate Council Lectures from June 2007 featuring "distinguished law scholar Elizabeth Warren, [who] teaches contract law, bankruptcy, and commercial law at Harvard Law School. She is an outspoken critic of America's credit economy, which she has linked to the continuing rise in bankruptcy among the middle-class."
Among the news items that pop up, we find this video piece on labour law in Hong Kong:
"Legal and human resources professionals in Hong Kong will have a growing role advising foreign firms on the Mainland's new Labour Contract Law, which is expected to be enacted soon. So says Stella Hou, General Manager of human resources consultancy, Hewitt Associates. She says the new regulations will oblige Mainland employers -- including foreign-invested enterprises -- to re-think their terms of employment. For example, "term" contracts can't be terminated by employers at will under the new law. Ms Hou says the requirement for basic regulation compliance to enhance China's national theme for a "harmonious society" will give Hong Kong HR professional firms plenty to interpret for their clients."
