Conflict of Laws
Conflict of Laws refers to a set of rules used to determine which jurisdiction's laws apply in legal disputes involving more than one state or country. This situation often arises in cases like contracts, torts, or family law, where parties may be from different locations, leading to potential differences in legal outcomes.
The primary goal of Conflict of Laws is to provide a framework for resolving these disputes fairly and consistently. Courts analyze factors such as the location of the parties, where the events occurred, and the nature of the legal issue to decide which laws should govern the case.
