Forum selection clause
open-in-new
<p>In <a href="/facts/Contract_law/SkqyGj6S">contract law</a>, a forum selection clause (sometimes called a dispute resolution clause, choice of court clause, governing law clause, jurisdiction clause or an <a href="/facts/Arbitration_clause/c7txxt11">arbitration clause</a>, depending on its form) in a <a href="/facts/Contract_(conflict)/RlW5mxg4">contract</a> with a <a href="/facts/Conflict_of_laws/LdRcmakJ">conflict of laws</a> element allows the parties to agree that any <a href="/facts/Litigation/gFeKr9ra">disputes</a> relating to that contract will be resolved in a specific forum. They usually operate in conjunction with a <a href="/facts/Choice_of_law_clause/RCtbugJL">choice of law clause</a> which determines the <a href="/facts/Conflict_of_contract_laws/RlW5mxg4">proper law</a> of the relevant contract. </p>
