Abstract
On January 1, 2010, Oregon’s new choice-of-law codification for
tort conflicts went into effect.1 This pioneering statute is one
more example of Oregon’s well-established propensity and capacity
to innovate and to lead. The new statute is the first attempt to codify
this interesting but difficult subject in a common-law state in the
United States. This Article provides a section-by-section exegesis
of the new statute in an effort to assist courts and counsel in
interpreting and applying it.
