10 The history of the term “transnational” is retraced in Germain's Transnational Law Research Ch. I, section 1.01.3 (1991-. Loose-leaf). The term is often attributed to Philip Jessup in his book Transnational Law (1956), but the first author to use it was actually Gustav Walker, an Austrian law professor, in 1934, and then Ernst Rabel in The Conflict of Laws: A Comparative Study (1945).Google Scholar
