Professor Kritzer developed a unique online database on the United Nations Convention on Contracts on the International Sales of Goods (the CISG) and taught courses on the CISG. The database has earned a central place in the scholarship, teaching, and practice of international sales law, regularly receiving in excess of 100,000 hits per day, and is consistently the first result of an online search for “International Commercial Law.” Additionally, his popular law school seminar frequently produced student research papers that were published in leading academic journals around the world.

Schroeter eds., Sharing International Commercial Law across National Borders: Festschrift for Albert H. Kritzer on the Occasion of his Eightieth Birthday (2008).
