Conflict of Laws: Or Private International Law (1901)

Conflict of Laws: Or Private International Law is a legal treatise written by Raleigh Colston Minor and first published in 1901. The book explores the complex legal issues that arise when cases involve multiple jurisdictions, such as when a contract is signed in one country but disputes arise in another. The book begins by discussing the historical development of conflict of laws, including the role of Roman law and the influence of the Napoleonic Code. It then delves into the various principles and doctrines that govern the resolution of conflicts of laws, such as the choice of law, jurisdiction, and recognition of foreign judgments. Throughout the book, Minor provides numerous case examples to illustrate the practical application of the legal principles he discusses. He also includes extensive footnotes and references to other legal authorities, making this book a valuable resource for legal scholars and practitioners alike. Despite being over a century old, Conflict of Laws remains a seminal work in the field of private international law and is still widely cited and referenced today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
