Five major contemporary efforts to give direction to choice-of-law thinking are: Cavers, The Choice-of-Law Process (1965); Currie, Selected Essays on the Conflict of Laws (1963); Ehrenzweig, A Treatise on the Conflict of Laws (1962); von Mehren and Trautman, The Law of Multistate Problems (1965); and the Tentative Drafts of Eestatement of the Law Second, Conflict of Laws (Willis L.M. Eeese, Beporter).

11 Art. VIII(2)(b) has given rise to many vexing questions about its coverage, in the courts of this and foreign countries. See, e.g., Banco do Brasil, S.A. v. Israel Commodity Co., Inc., 12 N.T. 2d 371, 190 N.E. 2d 235 (1963).
