How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding that applying state law to applicability of forum-selection clauses “accords with the traditional divide between procedural and substantive rules”
  • recognizing that “the same word or phrase could have a different meaning” depending on the applica- ble governing law
  • explaining that federal law should not be used to determine the scope of a forum selection clause in a federal-question case
  • explaining that the enforceability of forum selection clauses-as distinct from interpretation-is procedural in nature and is governed by federal law
  • explaining that interpretation of a forum-selection clause is a substantive question to which state law applies
  • noting that “[t]he presumptive enforceability of forum selection clauses reflects a strong federal public policy of its own”
