Description

International Civil Litigation: Cases And Materials on the Rise of Intermestic Law Ralph Steinhardt ISBN 9780820545936

This casebook responds to the rapid “internationalization” of domestic law—often called “intermestic” law—over the past decade, particularly in civil litigation in U.S. courts. Today’s litigators must navigate multiple legal disciplines that were once treated separately, including civil procedure, conflicts of law, public international law, evidence, international business transactions, remedies, and even immigration and human rights law. This text integrates materials across these fields, highlighting the common principles that govern litigation with international elements in U.S. courts.

Key topics include transnational jurisdiction and choice of law, service of process, discovery, special treatment of governments as parties, and recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments and arbitral awards. Unlike other textbooks, International Civil Litigation emphasizes the overarching themes that arise whenever domestic courts handle transnational disputes, including:

  • The role of customary and treaty-based international law in interpreting domestic statutes

  • Typical professional responsibility issues for attorneys handling international cases

  • The influence of intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations

  • Challenges in proving the content of international law

The casebook is complemented by a Documents Supplement and a comprehensive Teacher’s Manual (available exclusively to professors), making it a complete resource for courses and seminars in international civil litigation.
