In today's increasingly globalized world, the legal relationships established by individuals and commercial enterprises with citizens or institutions of different countries have also intensified. Disputes that arise in many subjects—such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, commerce, and creditor-debtor relationships—and concern the legal systems of more than one country, constitute the subject matter of Private International Law (also known as Conflict of Laws). Such relationships bring with them complex questions, such as which country's law will be applied, which country's courts will have jurisdiction, and how judgments rendered in foreign countries will gain validity in others.
