The Conflict of Laws, also known as private international law, is a
field of the greatest importance in an increasingly globalized
world. The analysis of any legal issue, in a case involving more
than one country, must start with an assessment of which court
could potentially hear the case and which law it would apply.
Contrary to other manuals or casebooks, which focus on the law of
one jurisdiction, this innovative casebook offers a comparative
treatment of the field. On each issue, materials from several
jurisdictions are discussed and compared. The approach centers on
comprehending the common principles of the field, but also
highlights the fundamental differences. The goal is to train
lawyers who not only will know the law of their own jurisdiction,
but also will have an understanding of the key differences existing
between the main models, and will thus be able to interact usefully
with clients from other jurisdictions. This casebook systematically
presents and compares the laws of four jurisdictions: the United
States, the European Union, France and England (where left
untouched by EU harmonization). It offers additional insight into
rules applicable in China and Japan and also discusses remarkable
solutions adopted in a wide range of jurisdictions such as Italy,
Germany, the Netherlands, Canada and Tunisia. All materials from
non-English speaking jurisdictions have been translated into
English. Key features of the casebook: written by a leading
authority in the field carefully selected extracts from primary and
secondary sources build a clear picture of the field expert
analytical commentary and questions set the extracts in context US,
EU, French and English perspectives integrated throughout the text
to ensure maximum relevance and encourage students to make
comparative assessments numerous references to Chinese and Japanese
solutions leads students through the field from beginning to end
perfectly pitched for international students and courses with a
global outlook.
