Description
Choice of Law: Cases and Materials for a Concise Course on Conflict of Laws 2nd Edition Aaron D. Twerski ISBN 9781647087340
This book is designed for a two-credit course focused primarily on choice of law, offering a streamlined yet rigorous introduction to the core of Conflict of Laws. At approximately 300 pages, the text is structured to give students a clear understanding of the competing methods courts use to resolve choice-of-law disputes. Recognizing the curricular constraints many students face, the book demonstrates that a two-credit course is sufficient to cover this increasingly important subject—making it especially well suited for intersession and summer offerings.
Beyond its concise format, the book addresses a key shortcoming of many traditional conflict-of-laws casebooks: their heavy reliance on outdated “classic” cases with limited modern relevance. While foundational cases are used to establish context, the book emphasizes contemporary cases and statutes that reflect the conflicts courts and legislatures routinely confront today. In doing so, it presents the most current approaches to choice-of-law analysis and shows how those approaches function in real disputes.
To deepen students’ practical understanding, the text includes focused subsections on common and consequential conflict scenarios, including comparative fault, products liability, medical malpractice, and workers’ compensation. Additional chapters address choice-of-law issues in contracts, estates and trusts, family law, and constitutional limits on choice-of-law decision-making. This edition also adds a new chapter examining recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions on jurisdiction.
Rather than concentrating on theory alone, the book demonstrates how differing choice-of-law methodologies operate in the types of cases most frequently encountered in litigation, providing students with both doctrinal clarity and practical insight.

Shipping & Returns
-
Fast, standard shipping
Most students receive their books in 3 to 9 business days.
-
Free rental returns, whenever you are done
Print a prepaid return label from your account whenever you have finished with the book, and drop it at the carrier listed on the label. Returning early costs you nothing: it is the same free label, and sending it back sooner is welcome. Just be sure it reaches us by the semester deadline to avoid late fees.
-
Purchase returns: 15% restocking fee
Purchases can be returned within 30 days in the condition you received. We will email a prepaid return label; once we receive your book, we refund the purchase price minus the 15% restocking fee and the return label cost. Original shipping is non-refundable.
-
Shipping costs calculated at checkout
Real-time rates are quoted at checkout based on your address and the books in your cart. Returning your book is always free.
Rental Terms
Return by December 28, 2026 for Fall 2026 rentals.
- Late Fees
- Books returned after the semester deadline accrue a weekly late fee of about 10% of the book's Brand New price, for each copy that is overdue. The rent you have already paid counts toward the book's replacement value (its Brand New price), so late fees stop once your rent plus late fees reach it. That replacement value is the most a rental can ever cost you. We email a reminder 48 hours before any charge, and any late fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout.
- Damage Fees
- Books returned damaged beyond normal classroom wear may be assessed a damage fee, capped at the book's replacement value (its Brand New price). Any damage fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout after we inspect the returned book.
- Return Shipping
- Returning your book is free: print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page, whether you send it back early or on the semester deadline. Cancelling a shipped rental for a refund is different: there, the return label cost comes out of your refund.
- 30-Day Cancellation
- Changed your mind? Cancel an active rental within 30 days of your order from My Account → My Rentals. Cancel before your book ships and it’s free; once it has shipped, we refund the rental price minus a 15% restocking fee and the return label cost, released once we receive your book. Shipping is non-refundable.
