About the Book:
Prof. Andreas F. Lowenfeld’s Conference on the Hague Convention brought together, as presenters and participants, some of today’s most knowledgeable theorists and practitioners on international jurisdictional issues, including professors at top U.S. law schools, international jurists, and members of various countries’ delegations to the Commission for the Proposed Hague Convention on Jurisdiction and Judgments.

Proceedings of the Conference on the Hague Convention showcase the lively and informative exchanges between presenters and participants, and also includes full copies of papers presented at the conference. The papers contain important and up-to-date research and analysis by luminaries such as Professor Arthur T. von Mehren, Story Professor of Law Emeritus at Harvard Law School, who is not only a member of the United States Delegation, but who is widely credited for being the driving force behind the project for a global convention on Jurisdiction and the Recognition of Judgments.

Papers and commentary from other members of the Special Commission, including Peter Nygh, Professor of Law, University of South Wales, Australia, Peter Trooboff, a member of the law firm of Covington & Burling, in Washington, D.C., and Allan Philip, a member of the law firm of Philip & Partners, Copenhagen, Denmark, Trevor C. Hartley, Professor of Law at the London School of Economics, Jeffrey Kovar, Assistant Legal Advisor for Private International Law at the United States Department of State, and T. Bradbrooke Smith, Chairman of the Special Commission, help to make this publication the most informative collection on international jurisdictional developments. The participation by dozens of top law professors, including Penn’s Stephen B. Burbank, Boston University’s William W. Park, N.Y.U’s Burt Neuborne, Cornell’s Kevin M. Clermont, Duke’s Thomas D. Rowe, Kansas’ Robert C. Casad, Columbia’s George Bermann and Hans Smit, Athens University’s Konstantinos Kerameus, University of Paris’s Pierre Mayer, and practitioners such as Baker & McKenzie’s Lawrence Newman, author of The Practice of International Litigation and Lawrence Collins, Q.C. of Herbert Smith, London, author of Dicey and Morris on Conflict of Laws, enhance this publication. The conference brought together scholars, lawyers, and officials from some twenty countries from every continent to debate what seems to be the hottest topic in private international law.
