The Anglo-American system favors forum non conveniens, whereas, the European applies European Regulation (EC) No. 44/2001. The difference between the two approaches permits litigants to practice forum shopping. The focus of the paper is to give an overview of the two approaches and to contrast them.</dc:description><dc:format>application/pdf</dc:format><dc:rights>http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/</dc:rights><dc:subject>Law--Study and teaching</dc:subject><dc:subject>University of Georgia.
