ISBN 9781636594699

The 11th Edition of the widely used Conflicts casebook continues to offer a rich and dynamic examination of modern conflict-of-laws doctrine, with a strong emphasis on both theoretical development and practical application. This latest edition deepens its focus on evolving approaches to choice of law, jurisdiction, and recognition of judgments, particularly in the context of international and transnational disputes.

Reflecting the latest developments in the field, this edition introduces:

• A detailed discussion of the draft Third Restatement of Conflict of Laws, including commentary by one of its Reporters.
• Two significant new cases exploring party autonomy: Ministers and Missionaries Benefit Board v. Snow and Cotter v. Lyft, Inc.
• An expanded and updated section on Internet-related conflicts, featuring new material on domain names, trademark law, unfair competition, and cutting-edge scholarship on online disputes.
• A new section on the Commerce Clause and extraterritorial state regulation, anchored by Association for Accessible Medicines v. Frosh.
• Substantial new content on interstate sovereign immunity, including the Supreme Court’s ruling in Franchise Tax Board v. Hyatt III.
• A leading Supreme Court case on personal jurisdiction, Ford Motor Co. v. Montana Eighth Judicial District Court, which clarifies the “arising out of or relating to” standard.
• New materials on international child abduction under the Hague Convention, with focus on Monasky v. Taglieri.
• Updated coverage of the Alien Tort Statute, including Jesner v. Arab Bank, PLC and Nestle USA, Inc. v. Doe.
• Revised treatment of the extraterritorial application of U.S. intellectual property laws.
• A compelling new case on the limits of constitutional remedies and territoriality, Hernandez v. Mesa.
• Exploration of the extraterritorial reach of the Due Process Clause, featuring Al Hela v. Trump.

Incorporating both landmark cases and emerging legal issues, the 11th Edition remains an essential resource for students and professors alike, offering an authoritative and nuanced exploration of the complexities of conflict-of-laws in the 21st century.
