Summary
The trends in the legal area of recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are reflected in the four recent developments described in this Part. Despite what was for many private law internationalists a great disappointment when the Hague Conference failed to negotiate an enforcement convention, there seems to be a new interest and focus in the United States to improve the operation of our very disparate, but functioning, system of enforcement of foreign judgments. The completion of the ALI project and the Uniform Law revision effort, coupled with new advances via trade agreements, signal that this legal area is ripe for review and adjustment, and that having a workable procedure in the United States is essential to being an active participant in the ever-growing globalization of business and the rule of law.
