(Most cases presented have some relation to the United Sta...)
Most cases presented have some relation to the United States, but they do not all come from U.S. courts. One of the principal features of the book is discussing that when related judicial decisions take place in multiple countries, all the relevant steps are exposed to scrutiny. Thus, familiar cases are presented in at least two, and in some instances three, settings and include explanations of the underlying controversy. The cases involving resistance by foreign parties to jurisdiction of American courts are followed by illustrations of efforts to enforce American judgments overseas and of the alternative of international arbitration.

In fifteen essays collected in this volume, Professor Lowenfeld brings together world class scholarship in all aspects of international economic transactions with more than thirty years’ experience as an arbitrator in international controversies. The essays range from a primer on international arbitration for those who are new to the field or entered it without adequate introduction, to sophisticated analysis of the role of party-nominated arbitrators and of the blending of civil law and common law traditions into what Lowenfeld refers as the “omelette” that international arbitration has become. He discusses the use of lex mercatoria, the pros and cons of judicial review of arbitral awards, and the adaptation of arbitration to controversies involving public law and public policy. Lowenfeld’s illuminating anecdotes and lucid writing style will provide pleasure and insight for all who are engaged in international arbitration – whether as counsel, as arbitrators, or as academics.

This Conflicts casebook is unique because it addresses conflict issues arising in the international arena in addition to domestic conflict of laws issues. This coverage reflects the ever-increasing level of transnational trade and travel. To make the subject more engaging, the book reintroduces conflict of laws that have largely disappeared from the wholly domestic scene, such as commercial law. Nevertheless, for professors who do not wish to cover comparative and international aspects of conflicts, these materials are placed at the end of the relevant chapters so that they may be omitted without interrupting the flow of the book. This Second Edition also reflects the latest domestic and international developments in conflicts involving family law issues.
