Updated and expanded to reflect the latest developments in the field, Conflict of Laws: Cases and Materials, Ninth Edition offers a comprehensive and balanced examination of conflict of laws by leading scholars. The book begins by exploring traditional approaches to choice-of-law problems in both interstate and international settings, followed by an analysis of how modern courts and legal scholars have sought to develop more effective approaches.
Building on these foundational principles, the text examines constitutional limitations on choice of law, personal jurisdiction, conflicts within the federal system, recognition and enforcement of judgments, the extraterritorial application of federal law, choice of legal regimes, and choice of law in complex litigation. Each subject is considered in light of the fundamental principles governing choice-of-law analysis.
New to the Ninth Edition:
- Revised and Expanded Chapters: Updated, reorganized, and streamlined coverage of several major topics, including:
- Choice-of-law and forum-selection clauses, incorporating recent legal developments.
- Personal jurisdiction.
- Recognition and enforcement of judgments, with expanded treatment of foreign-country judgments and child custody and child support judgments.
- Federal extraterritoriality, including updated coverage of federal extraterritoriality doctrine and entirely new materials on the act-of-state doctrine, the dormant foreign relations doctrine and preemption, international comity, and transnational human rights litigation under the Alien Tort Statute and the transitory tort doctrine.
- Recent Judicial Decisions: New case excerpts addressing important developments, including:
- De Fontebrune v. Wofsy (2016), addressing proof of foreign law.
- Nunes v. Cable News Network, Inc. (2022), addressing cross-border defamation.
- National Pork Producers Council v. Ross (2023), addressing the dormant Commerce Clause.
- Cassirer v. Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection Foundation (2025), addressing choice of law in claims involving Nazi-looted art.
- Erickson v. Pharmacia LLC (2025), addressing punitive damages.
- Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery Act: Coverage of the 2025 HEAR Act, which enables Holocaust survivors and their heirs to pursue recovery of Nazi-looted artwork without regard to statutes of limitations.
- Restatement Developments: Updated excerpts from the draft Restatement (Third) of Conflict of Laws.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Comprehensive Case Law: Combines foundational historical decisions with recent cases, supplemented by practical problems and detailed notes that help students apply judicial precedents.
- Contemporary Legal Issues: Examines modern applications involving internet disputes, complex litigation, party autonomy, and competition among jurisdictions.
- Choice of Law and Forum Selection: Provides extensive coverage of choice-of-law and forum-selection clauses, with expanded treatment of issues arising in transnational disputes.
- Balanced Approach: Integrates theoretical foundations with practical applications, incorporating state law and comparative legal perspectives where appropriate.
- Extensive Federal Law Coverage: Offers broader treatment of the extraterritorial application of federal law than any other leading conflict of laws casebook.
Combining foundational doctrine, contemporary judicial developments, and practical problems, Conflict of Laws: Cases and Materials, Ninth Edition provides students with a thorough understanding of modern conflict of laws and its application to complex interstate and international disputes.

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 by your semester date is always free; an early return deducts the restocking fee and label cost from your refund instead.
Rental Terms
Return by May 25, 2027 for Spring 2027 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 with no deduction if it reaches us by your semester return date, or after it's already overdue. Print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page. Returning it early and shipping it back within 30 days of your order date gets you a refund minus a 15% restocking fee and the label cost. After 30 days, an early return is free, with no refund.
- 30-Day Refund Window
- Changed your mind? Cancel before your book ships and it’s free: open the order under My Account → Orders and click Cancel next to the book. Once it has shipped, you can return a rental for a refund from My Account → My Rentals. To qualify, the book must be shipped back within 30 days of your order date. 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. A rental shipped back after 30 days is a regular end-of-semester return, with no refund.
