Authors

Wendy Collins Perdue, University of RichmondFollow

Abstract

Professor Perdue describes her use of materials on Indian Tribes at the end of her Conflict of Laws course as a vehicle for examining the interrelations among choice of law, Jurisdiction, and recognition of judgments. Her goal is not to make students experts in Indian law, but rather to get students to reexamine assumptions about the nature of sovereignty and the role of choice of law, jurisdiction, and recognition of judgments as devices for recognizing and allocating governmental authority
