Conflict of Laws: Cases and Materials

by Lea Brilmayer, Jack L. Goldsmith, Erin O'Hara O'Connor

Written by leading Conflicts scholars, this casebook presents a balanced study of Conflict of Laws. The books starts with a discussion of traditional approaches to choice-of-law problems, followed by an examination how modern courts and commentators have struggled to formulate more responsive approaches. The remaining broad topics constitutional limitations on choice of law, the Erie doctrine, personal jurisdiction, conflicts in the federal system, recognition of judgments, conflicts in the international context, choosing legal regimes and choice of law in complex litigation are considered in light of the wisdom derived from consideration of the basic choice-of-law problems.
