RENVOI
The process by which a court adopts the rules of a foreign jurisdiction with respect to any conflict of laws that arises.
In some instances, the rules of the foreign state might refer the court back to the law of the forum where the case is being heard.
The term renvoi also refers to the rules that, in a lawsuit by a nonresident upon a cause arising locally, the capacity to sue is determined by the law of the nonresident's domicile, rather than by local law.
The doctrine of renvoi is seldom followed in the United States and has also been rejected by a number of foreign legal scholars.

Within the “Cite this article” tool, pick a style to see how all available information looks when formatted according to that style. Then, copy and paste the text into your bibliography or works cited list.
Because each style has its own formatting nuances that evolve over time and not all information is available for every reference entry or article, Encyclopedia.com cannot guarantee each citation it generates.

- Most online reference entries and articles do not have page numbers. Therefore, that information is unavailable for most Encyclopedia.com content. However, the date of retrieval is often important. Refer to each style’s convention regarding the best way to format page numbers and retrieval dates.
