The Scope Of Generic Choice Of Law Clauses, Tanya J. Monestier
The Scope Of Generic Choice Of Law Clauses, Tanya J. Monestier
Journal Articles
Non-proceduralists have the perception that questions of jurisdiction or choice of law are just preliminary issues that need to be dealt with before getting to the real dispute, the things that matter. What they do not realize is that these preliminary issues are often, themselves, the real dispute. They are the lever which permits litigation to proceed or which stops a claim dead in its tracks. Thus, these procedural matters — often dismissed as technicalities — have the potential to shape the dispute in significant ways.
Take for instance, a staple of commercial and consumer contracting: the ubiquitous choice of …
Rules Vs. Standards In Private Ordering, Tomer S. Stein
Rules Vs. Standards In Private Ordering, Tomer S. Stein
Buffalo Law Review
The tradeoff between bright-line rules and general standards is one of the bedrocks of law design. This tradeoff determines how legal norms are composed. The tradeoff between rules and standards pervasively affects private ordering as well: it determines how contractual norms are composed. Yet, scholars exploring the rule vs. standard dichotomy have either entirely overlooked the tradeoff taking place in private orderings or equated it with the public tradeoff that dominates lawmaking.
This Article is the first to systematically examine the rule vs. standard tradeoff in private orderings. The Article carries out this task by identifying and analyzing the fundamental …

Not From Guile But From Entitlement: Lawful Opportunism Capitalizes On The Cracks In Contracts, Gastón De Los Reyes Jr., Kirsten Martin
Not From Guile But From Entitlement: Lawful Opportunism Capitalizes On The Cracks In Contracts, Gastón De Los Reyes Jr., Kirsten Martin
Buffalo Law Review
Few concepts have been more pivotal to contract law scholarship over the last forty years than the opportunism attributed ex ante and ex post to contracting parties, yet the lawful form of opportunism identified by Nobel Laureate Oliver Williamson in 1991 remains surprisingly overlooked in favor of the blatant forms of opportunism that result from “self-interest seeking with guile.” This Article extends Williamson’s inchoate account of lawful opportunism and reports the first empirical study of the phenomenon.
The conceptual analysis of lawful opportunism is developed with reference to the bargaining underlying the classic impossibility decision, Taylor v. Caldwell. Three component …
When Forum Selection Clauses Meet Choice Of Law Clauses, Tanya J. Monestier
When Forum Selection Clauses Meet Choice Of Law Clauses, Tanya J. Monestier
Journal Articles
Many contracts that contain a forum selection clause also contain a choice of law clause. This raises the issue of whether to apply the parties’ chosen law to questions of forum selection clause interpretation, such as whether the clause is mandatory or permissive and how far the scope of the clause extends. The recent trend has been for courts to apply the law selected by the parties in their choice of law clause to govern these interpretation issues. This Article argues that the law has gone in the wrong direction and that courts should apply forum law to questions of …
Whose Law Of Personal Jurisdiction? The Choice Of Law Problem In The Recognition Of Foreign Judgments, Tanya J. Monestier
Whose Law Of Personal Jurisdiction? The Choice Of Law Problem In The Recognition Of Foreign Judgments, Tanya J. Monestier
Journal Articles
It is black-letter law that in order to recognize and enforce a foreign judgment, the rendering court must have had personal jurisdiction over the defendant. While the principle is clear, it is an open question as to whose law governs the question of personal jurisdiction: that of the rendering court or that of the recognizing court. In other words, is the foreign court’s jurisdiction over the defendant governed by foreign law (the law of F1), domestic law (the law of F2), or some combination thereof? While courts have taken a number of different approaches, it seems that many courts regard …
