The Most “Significant Relationship” in the Conflicts Law of Torts—Law and Reason Versus the Restatement Second

has offered a description of his effort in the present symposium.3 It is with considerable misgivings that I have accepted the editors invitation to comment on this paper. I have stated elsewhere, perhaps all too often and all too vigorously, my opposition to both the substance and the procedure of the American Law Institutes undertaking in this field.4 Moreover, it is always a hateful task to attack the work of a man for whom you feel the highest personal regard. Only the remaining hope to induce the Restaters to withdraw their latest draft on the conflicts law of torts5 has prompted me to offer these comments despite my misgivings.
