Conflict of Laws

Willamette Law Online is proud to offer its popular service focusing on the Conflict of Laws. This service surveys all American federal and state cases that discuss in any significant way the choice-of-law question. The author of this service is Dean Symeon Symeonides, who, for nineteen of the last twenty-two years, has conducted a similar survey for the Association of American Law Schools' Section on Conflict of LawsIn a Resolution of Appreciation awarded to Dean Symeonides, the AALS Section on Conflict of Laws characterized these surveys as "enormously informative and influential" and "extraordinarily helpful to the members of the Section, other academics, the Bench and the practicing bar."

Dean Symeonides was awarded the first Friedrich K. Juenger Prize in Private International Law for his article, "Choice of Law in the American Courts in 2000:  As the Century Turns," published in the American Journal of Comparative Law.  The prize was established in 2001 by the American Society of Comparative Law in honor of its late former president, Juenger, a long-time professor at the University of California and one of the top private international law scholars in the world.

Dean Symeonides' surveys have been published in the American Journal of Comparative Law.
