Conflict of law is an area of law that regulates the interaction between distinct jurisdictions. Typically, conflict of law questions arise in:

# Federal systems, such as the US or Australia, where a dispute might be handled either by a Federal court or a State court; or # Internationally, where a dispute may be heard in two or more countries (for example, if the parties to a contract are based in different countries, each party could sue the other for breach in either the courts of their home country or the courts of the country in which the other party is based). The actual question of how to resolve the dispute will depend on the jurisdictions in question. In the case of a contract dispute, parties to the contract may expressly agree on a 'choice of law' clause to determine where any dispute is to be heard. The effectiveness of such a clause will depend on how it is phrased.
