Art. 3515. Determination of the applicable law; general and residual rule
Except as otherwise provided in this Book, an issue in a case having contacts with
other states is governed by the law of the state whose policies would be most seriously
impaired if its law were not applied to that issue.
That state is determined by evaluating the strength and pertinence of the relevant
policies of all involved states in the light of: (1) the relationship of each state to the parties
and the dispute; and (2) the policies and needs of the interstate and international systems,
including the policies of upholding the justified expectations of parties and of minimizing
the adverse consequences that might follow from subjecting a party to the law of more than
one state.
