A quick definition of choice of law:

Choice of law refers to the decision of which jurisdiction's laws should be applied in a particular case. This is often a complex issue that arises when different laws may be applicable to a single situation. It is also known as conflict of laws.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Choice of law refers to the question of which jurisdiction's law should apply in a given case. It is also known as conflict of laws.

Example: If a person from New York gets into a car accident while driving in California, the question of which state's laws should apply to the case arises. Should it be New York's laws or California's laws? This is a choice of law issue.

Another example could be a contract dispute between a company based in Texas and a company based in Florida. If the contract does not specify which state's laws should apply, the court will have to determine which state's laws should govern the dispute.

These examples illustrate how choice of law can be a complex issue that requires careful consideration by the court. The decision can have a significant impact on the outcome of the case.
