Learning Conflict of Laws (Learning Series)

Learning Conflict of Laws is the most practice-oriented conflicts casebook on the market. It was written to train lawyers, not just theorists, with litigation strategy at the center of every chapter. Students learn how forum shopping, multi-claim pleading, procedural levers, and client counseling shape real conflicts practice.

The book is dense with hypotheticals and simulations, from quick checks to extended problems, so that students can apply doctrine and sharpen instincts. Cases are carefully edited―long enough to show the reasoning, short enough to keep the focus on learning. Commentary is clear, strategic, and respectful, offering just enough context and breadcrumbs for deeper exploration.

The second edition is fully updated with recent cases and modern issues, including Mallory and conflicts problems posed by emerging technologies like AI. Flexible and modular, the book adapts to a variety of teaching approaches. With decades of experience, the authors bring both scholarly expertise and classroom insight, helping students build the foundation and practical skills they need to thrive as litigators.
