69 Am. U. L. Rev. F. 171 (2020).

* Ziff Professor of Law, Cornell University. Thanks go to Ned Cavanagh and Tanya Monestier for their helpful comments.

In a recent article, Professor Tanya Monestier argued that courts should change their ways so as to apply lex fori to all questions involving forum-selection clauses. I agree that lex fori governs matters of enforceability, but I disagree as to matters of interpretation. On the basis of case law and policy arguments, I argue that the law chosen by the contract should govern interpretation of the forum-selection clause.
