Enforcement of Forum Selection Clauses in Transnational Contracts—Is Agreement Possible Between the United States and the European Economic Community?

Authors

Nicolas Fernandez

Abstract

This note will explore the movement towards enforcement of forum clauses in the United States and the European Economic Community. The United States analysis will examine the evolution at the federal level, the position of the several states, and the conflict between state and federal precedent. The European Economic Community analysis will examine representative member states and the Community itself. After considering existing law, this note recommends a multilateral treaty to secure uniform enforcement of forum clauses in transnational agreements.
