12. The Conflict of Laws.
Professor Minor.
As the facility of commerce and intercourse between the various
states and countries of the world increases, 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 execution, construction and effect of foreign
wills, successions and administrations; foreign marriages and divorces;
and 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 application of the lex fori; and the modes of proving
foreign laws.—March 25 to May 10—Three times a week.
Text-Book.—Conflict of Laws: Minor.
