About this Website

The website is a scholarly project. It is intended as a source for news and commentary as well as a clearinghouse for information. The author has scholarly opinions relating to the subject, and those opinions inform the commentary on the website. Partisan advocacy, however, is not an objective.
The intended audience consists of legal professionals, particularly those with a basic understanding of the conflict of laws, or private international law. The material may sometimes seem esoteric or inaccessible to laypeople. The website is not intended as a substitute for legal advice from a licensed professional.
Blog entries contain not only news items relevant to the subject but sometimes critical commentaries as well. They typically address noteworthy legislative or judicial developments that are relevant to the subject.
Material related to pending or decided cases is acessible via a hierarchical table of geographical places or several case indices.
