LAW 748 International Law: Private, Conflicts of Law
This course will examine how the answer to a legal problem is affected by the fact that the elements of the problem have contacts with more than one jurisdiction. Potential topics include the limits of each state's power to regulate international disputes; policies underlying the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments, threshold problems in the forum such as notice and proof, and consideration of specialized areas such as property, family law, administration of estates, and international partnerships and corporations. This course will require a paper, which may satisfy the upper-level writing requirement.
