This Concise Hornbook guides students through the complex concepts and principles underlying the law of domestic and international conflicts. The book is an indispensable aid to students and practitioners seeking to better understand the basic principles of choice of law, recognition of judgments, and the law applied in federal courts, as well as more specific developments concerning conflicts in family law, cyberspace, and international transactions.

“I have used Clyde Spillenger’s excellent short book, Principles of Conflict of Laws, for several years as the main text in my Conflict of Laws class, together with case reports and other secondary material. The text is very clearly written, accessible, and full of original insights into the many complex and intriguing problems that Conflicts presents for both students and Conflicts teachers. I have learned a lot from the book and recommend it highly as a text for the course and a guide for those privileged to take on this mysterious but gratifying subject.”--Joseph Glannon, Suffolk
