A quick definition of law of the forum:

The law of the forum, also known as lex fori, refers to the laws of the jurisdiction where a case is being heard. This law governs the possible punishments for a crime and other legal matters related to the case. It is important to understand the law of the forum when dealing with legal issues that cross different jurisdictions. Additionally, there are other historical laws such as the lex Francorum and lex Frisionum that were promulgated by the Franks and Frisians respectively.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The law of the jurisdiction where the case is pending. It is also known as lex fori or lex ordinandi.

For example, if a case is being heard in a court in California, the law of California will be the law of the forum. This means that the judge will apply California law to the case.

The law of the forum is important in cases where there is a conflict of laws. For instance, if a person from California is involved in a car accident in New York, the law of the forum will determine which state's law applies to the case.

Overall, the law of the forum is the law that governs a case in the jurisdiction where it is being heard.
