De Conflictu Legum

De Conflictu Legum is a Latin term that refers to the conflict of laws. It is the title of several works that deal with the conflicts that arise when different legal systems have different laws that apply to the same situation.

For example, if a person is involved in a car accident in one state but lives in another state, there may be a conflict of laws regarding which state's laws apply to the case. Similarly, if a company operates in multiple countries, there may be conflicts of laws regarding which country's laws apply to certain business practices.

Another example is when a couple gets married in one country but then moves to another country where the laws regarding marriage and divorce are different. This can create a conflict of laws when the couple decides to get divorced.

The examples illustrate how conflicts of laws can arise in various situations. Dealing with these conflicts can be complex and require legal expertise. The works titled De Conflictu Legum provide guidance and analysis on how to resolve these conflicts.
