On the International Comity in the private international law system of the U.S.A

Abstract

The present Note makes a deep analysis of an important work published by Joel R. Paul in Law and Contemporary Problems about the "Transformation of International Comity". After completing the review of the historical study prepared by the above-mentioned author on the described subject, the Note offers after studying several judicial precedents dealing with antitrust matters, an alternative critique of the results derived from that historical study, in favor of the International Comity as a basic tool for the development of modern Private International Law.
