Conflict of Laws: Private Intl Law

Definitions

Private International Law: "International conflict of laws. Legal scholars frequently lament the name 'private international law' because it misleadingly suggests a body of law somehow parallel to public international law, when in fact it is merely a part of each legal system's private law. -- Also termed international private law; jus gentium privatum; intermunicipal law; comity; extraterritorial recognition of rights." Black's Law Dictionary, 10th ed., page 941 [under entry for "International law"]
