This illuminating text features a special introduction and colloquium by Professor Juenger’s colleagues. A revised version of the late Friedrich Juenger’s Hague Lectures, this "special edition" presents the most pervasive and trenchant critique of the traditional approaches to choice of law, both of the multilateralist and unilateralist kind, to date. An undisputed classic, Juenger's book is both a timeless critique of the traditional choice-of-law approaches and a timely plea to move beyond them in the age of globalization.

Choice of Law provides an in-depth sophisticated coverage of the choice-of-law part Conflicts Law (or Private International Law) in torts, products liability, contracts, forum-selection and arbitration clauses, insurance, statutes of limitation, domestic relations, property, marital property, and successions. It also covers the constitutional framework and conflicts between federal law and foreign law.

It identifies the emerging decisional patterns and extracts predictions about likely outcomes.
