Award-winning teacher Laura Little offers a progressive, innovative approach to teaching complex material in the new casebook, Conflict of Laws. In a subject where there are few “right” answers and plenty of room for debate, this casebook offers a contemporary alternative to the subject by connecting coverage of key issues and concepts to law practice using modern cases-and-problem pedagogy. With its modular design and clear writing, the text is highly teachable and sure to be a favorite with both students and professors. Features: Award-winning teacher and respected author Laura Little brings her considerable expertise in federal courts, conflict of laws, and constitutional law to the subject. Well-balanced casebook presents the deep jurisprudential lessons imbedded in the conflict of laws subject matter. Proven cases-and-problems pedagogy helps students apply concepts. Maintains a clear presentation of doctrines relevant to current law practice. Thematic approach puts conflicts of law in the context of actual issues confronted in law practice. Clear, straightforward writing avoids the “hide the ball” approach of many other books and maximizes accessibility to difficult material. Innovative organization, beginning with personal jurisdiction, follows the way issues arise in litigation and highlights the importance of forum selection. Highly adaptable modular presentation allows professors to customize approach. Contemporary cases and hypotheticals allow students to apply rules to current situations, while hallmark cases maintain continuity with the development of the discipline. Full coverage of current topics such as Internet issues, same-sex marriage, choice of law clauses, and class actions. International and comparative materials cover global aspects of conflicts. Emphasis on the Restatement (Second) of Conflicts, now the predominant United States approach but insufficiently covered in most other texts. Online PowerPoint slides, charts, and diagrams support teachabilit
