“Choice of Law in International Commercial Contracts”
Episode two of Law Out Loud brings together Erasmus Graduate School of Law PhD researcher Priskila Penasthika (better known by her nickname ‘Tita’) and Professor Xandra Kramer, who is an expert in private law and private international law. Globalisation has brought a huge increase to cross border trade in recent decades, and Tita explains the significance of ‘choice of law’ when undertaking cross border transactions. She and Xandra then discuss the case of Indonesia, its aspirations to become the world’s 5th largest economy, and changes which may need to be made to its rules governing choice of law if it is to achieve that goal.

In Law Out Loud we turn the table between senior and junior researchers. In every episode, a junior PhD researcher gets the opportunity to explain their research to a senior expert in the same field. The latter seeks to learn from the junior and contribute related insights from their own research. The topics in the series cover legal responses to new social, economic, and technological developments. Law Out Loud is funded by the Erasmus Graduate School of Law, and each episode is produced and edited by EGSL PhD researchers: Liam Wells, Josje de Vogel, Sophia Paulini and Georgia Antonopoulou.
