LAW-6101 CONFLICT OF LAWS
This course will examine the choice-of-law theories that courts use to determine the rule of decision to be applied in cases in which the parties' conduct or the transactions involved have connections with more than one state. The course will then consider federal constitutional limitations on these choice-of-law approaches, and the extent to which federal courts are required to apply state choice-of-law rules. It will also address conflict of laws issues in relation to the internet. The course will then examine the extent to which judgments rendered by a court in one state must be recognized and enforced by courts in other states, and by federal courts.
