Below is the abstract for “Choice of Law in the American Courts in 2022: Thirty-Sixth Annual Survey,” available for download on SSRN.

This is the Thirty-Sixth Annual Survey of American Choice-of-Law Cases. It was written at the request of the Association of American Law Schools Section on Conflict of Laws. It is intended as a service to fellow teachers and to students of conflicts law, both inside and outside of the United States. Its purpose remains to inform, rather than to advocate.

This Survey covers cases decided by American state and federal appellate courts during 2022. Of the cases that meet these parameters, the Survey focuses on cases that may contribute something new to the development or understanding of conflicts law—and in particular choice of law.
