12. The Conflict of Laws.
Professor Minor.
As the facilities of commerce and intercourse between the various
States and countries of the world increase, this subject becomes of graver
importance, though as yet it has received rather scanty recognition at
the hands of text-writers and law-schools.
The course includes a discussion of the nature and various kinds of
domicil; the law governing status, and the conveyance of personal
property abroad; the validity, construction, and effect of foreign wills,
successions, and administrations; foreign marriages and divorces; transactions
relating to real estate; the execution, interpretation, and validity
of foreign contracts; the law governing the effect of foreign judgments
in rem or in personam; the recovery of damages for foreign torts; the
situs of crimes; the application of the lex fori; and the modes of pleading
and proving foreign laws.—March 24 to end of session—Three times
a week.
Text-Book.—Minor on Conflict of Laws.
