Choice Of Law And Jurisdictional Policy In The Federal Courts, Tobias Barrington Wolff
Choice Of Law And Jurisdictional Policy In The Federal Courts, Tobias Barrington Wolff
All Faculty Scholarship
For seventy-five years, Klaxon v. Stentor Electric Manufacturing has provided a one-line answer to choice-of-law questions in federal diversity cases: Erie requires the federal court to employ the same law that a court of the state would select. The simplicity of the proposition likely accounts for the unqualified breadth with which federal courts now apply it.

The attraction of a simple answer is obvious. But Klaxon cannot bear the …

Using its authority under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (mandating nondiscrimination on the basis of sex in all educational programs and activities receiving federal funds), the Department’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has launched an enforcement effort that critics denounce as aggressive, manipulative, and corrosive of individual liberties. Missing from the commentary is a historically informed understanding of why this administrative campaign unfolded as it did. This Essay offers crucial context by reminding readers …
