Restatement Second, Conflict of Laws, is the culmination of a 17-year effort, entirely superseding the original Restatement of this subject, published by the Institute in 1934.

Topics covered are Domicil; Judicial Jurisdiction; Judgments; Procedure; Wrongs; Contracts; Property; Trusts; Status; Agency and Partnerships; Business Corporations; and Administration of Estates.

The first two volumes contain the black-letter statements, Comments, Illustrations, and Reporter's Notes. The third volume is an Appendix, containing digests of court citations to the first Restatement and to the Tentative Drafts through 1968; parallel tables showing corresponding sections in the original Restatement, the Tentative Drafts, and the new edition; and cross-references to the West Key Number Digest System and A. L. R. Annotations. The fourth, fifth, and sixth volumes are additional Appendixes containing digests of court citations to both the first and second Restatements from January 1969, through June 1995. Volume 6 is updated yearly by a cumulative pocket part.
