Description

Conflict of Laws: Cases, Materials and Problems, Revised 2nd Edition David H. Vernon ISBN 9780820557465

Courses in conflict of laws have become increasingly vital for preparing students for sophisticated legal practice, whether in counseling or litigation. As modern conflicts doctrine continues to evolve—often in complex and uneven ways across jurisdictions—the authors address emerging and developing areas, particularly the international dimensions of conflicts of law and issues of Internet jurisdiction. Reflecting the widespread adoption of the Second Restatement as the prevailing choice-of-law approach in more than half of the states, this edition offers a substantially revised and expanded treatment of its provisions.

The second edition of Conflict of Laws: Cases, Materials, and Problems retains a classic structure, organized around three core areas: Jurisdiction, Choice of Law, and Judgments. It includes focused readings on domicile, a recurring and challenging issue in conflicts analysis, and concludes with a chapter on domestic relations that brings together many of the course’s central concepts through engaging discussion.

Topics given particular emphasis include international cases, tort reform legislation, complex and mass litigation, and the influence of constitutional principles and federal supremacy. A Teacher’s Manual is available to support instructors using the book.
