Choice of Law in the American Courts in 2022

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,1 and is intended as a service to fellow teachers and to students of conflicts law, both inside and outside the United States. Its purpose remains the same as it has been from the beginning: to inform, rather than to advocate. This Survey covers cases decided by American state and federal appellate courts during 2022. It focuses on cases that contribute something new to the development or understanding of conflicts law, particularly choice of law. Devoted readers will note that this Survey is shorter than some published in some previous years. This brevity is attributable to a directive that we hew more closely to the standard word count for articles published in the American Journal of Comparative Law. With this limit in mind, we move directly to a discussion of recent cases.
