Private international law & conflict of laws; International courts & procedures

A Conflict of Laws Companion brings together a group of expert authors to write essays in honour of Professor Adrian Briggs QC. Professor Briggs has been teaching in Oxford since 1980, and throughout that period, he has been an instrumental figure in shaping the conflict of laws in the UK and elsewhere and has inspired generations of students (future practitioners and judges) to take a close interest in the subject. His books, including Agreements on Jurisdiction and Choice of Law (OUP, 2008), The Conflict of Laws (4th edn, Clarendon, 2019), and Private International Law in English Courts (OUP, 2015), are among the most widely used and cited texts on the subject.

The book is divided into four sections, exploring conflict of laws issues of different kinds and engaging with Professor Briggs' work on a diverse range of topics. Contributions by Professor Briggs' former colleagues build on his work in the conflict of laws and his immeasurable contributions as a teacher and researcher at the University of Oxford, not only to undergraduate teaching, but to his college (St Edmund Hall), the Law faculty, and the university. The book includes short personal submissions from each of the authors, all of whom studied alongside, have been taught or supervised by, or worked closely with Professor Briggs.

Reviews for A Conflict Of Laws Companion

The volume is outstanding and way beyond the ordinary insofar as it commences in earnest with a great number of short laudationes and personal recollections, a collection hardly to be found in any other Festschrift. This conveys an extraordinary and very impressive personal element displaying Adrian Briggs as a unique phenomenon. * Peter Mankowski, European Union Private Law Review * Although the contributions are essentially focused on the English common law or compare the law of common law jurisdictions, many of them raise general issues which should be of great interest for conflict specialists throughout the world. * Gilles Cuniberti, Revue Critique de droit international priv'e [translated] * There is not one page of this book that does not make for a stimulating read. It is a great testament to one of the greatest minds in private international law, and a true Conflict of Laws companion to countless students, scholars, colleagues, and friends. * Tobias Lutzi, University of Cologne, ConflictOfLaws.net *
