Restatement of the Law Second,

Conflict of Laws

This work addresses the specific problems that arise when a case is connected with more than one jurisdiction. Topics include personal jurisdiction as well as the recognition, effect, and defense of foreign judgments. A 17-year effort, this work entirely supersedes the original Restatement on this subject, published by the Institute in 1934.
