    To commemorate the work of our late colleague Larry Ribstein, the panel will discuss modern issues in choice-of-law methodology using Professor Ribstein's work as a point of departure.  How should the legal community respond to increasing efforts by sophisticated parties in the interstate and international arena to shop for favorable law?  Should choice of law embrace normative goals like economic efficiency or instead be governed by putatively neutral conflicts principles?  What role should considerations of social justice play in conflicts methodology?
