Procedural and substantive aspects of problems that frequently arise when the laws of two or more states or countries are potentially involved in the same legal matter. These include problems of "Choice of law"-that is determining which state or country's law should govern, jurisdiction, and enforceability of administrative or judicial judgments from other states or countries. The substantive problems arise largely in tort and contract, but also in family law, corporations, negotiable instruments, etc. Consequently, many cases will be familiar from other courses, but will be examined from different perspectives.
This is an elective course. Most, though not all, electives are offered each year. Students may expect to have at least one opportunity to subscribe to all electives at some time in their three years in the college.
