Implementation of Choice of Jurisdiction and Law in Private International Law by PROLEG Meta-interpreter

Private International law (also called Conflict of laws) treats international affairs which involves legal systems of multiple countries. In the domain of private international law, choice of jurisdiction (the choice of country whose court can have a competence to treat the affairs) and choice of law (the choice of law on which the judgement of the affair is based) are main questions. In this paper, we give an implementation of both questions using extending PROLEG meta-interpreter. PROLEG is our legal knowledge representation language which consists of general rules and exceptions in one legal system. We extend PROLEG to handle different legal systems and reference of other legal systems within reasoning about international affairs.
