Conflict-of-laws codifications dominate much of the non-common law world and have recently made inroads into common law jurisdictions, including two U.S. states. This program will explore some of the aspects of major codifications, including the European Union’s Rome regulations and China’s new codification. As work begins on the Restatement (Third) of the Conflict of Laws an important question is what, if any, lessons can be learned from experience with conflict-of-laws codes, and whether those codes should influence the new Restatement.
