Choice of Law An Experiential Learning Approach - 2nd Edition - Joseph William Singer

Description

Choice of Law An Experiential Learning Approach 2nd Edition ISBN 9781531031305

This book equips students to master conflict of laws through hands-on, experiential learning. Designed around a series of a dozen moot court exercises, it introduces both traditional and modern approaches to choice of law. It identifies standard case patterns, distinguishing between straightforward and complex cases, and clearly lays out the principal arguments typically advanced on both sides of the harder issues.

Serving as both a casebook and a treatise, the book offers in-depth analyses of representative cases alongside hornbook-style explanations that clarify core doctrines and typical case outcomes.

This second edition incorporates important updates, including:

• The latest drafts from the Third Restatement of Conflict of Laws
• Revised problems involving noncompetition clauses, reflecting recent developments in state and federal law
• A new moot court problem exploring modern conflict-of-law questions related to abortion

Although clinical legal education remains the gold standard for developing practical skills, moot court simulations based on real-world scenarios provide an accessible, cost-effective alternative. These exercises allow students to step into the roles of both advocates and judges, gaining practical insights into the types of cases they are likely to encounter in legal practice.
