Conflicts of Laws

Conflicts of laws occur when a legal issue involves more than one jurisdiction, such as different states or countries, each with its own rules. For example, if a contract is made in one state but involved in a dispute in another, courts must determine which state's laws apply. The goal is to ensure fair resolution by choosing the most relevant law based on factors like where the event happened or where the parties are located. Essentially, conflicts of laws help figure out which rules to follow when legal cases span multiple legal systems.
