Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

  1. Proof makes every foreign rule enforceable without exception.
  2. Proof of content and enforceability under the forum's conflicts/public-policy analysis are distinct.
  3. Any public-policy label automatically wins without reasons.
  4. Only unproved law can ever be considered.
  5. The forum may never characterize any rule.
