Summary A graduate of HEC, Harvard Law School, and The Hague Academy of International Law before becoming an agrégé des Facultés de droit, Professor Bernard Audit taught civil law for several decades and has explored, throughout his career, private international law, international arbitration law, and international trade law. Following the path traced by Dean Loussouarn, his thesis advisor, and convinced by his own academic and practical experience, Bernard Audit has illustrated this universalist and realistic French tradition which seeks in history and comparative law the way to lasting balances between the interests of States and those of individuals evolving across borders. Thanks to his pioneering work on fraud and the functional character of the conflict rule, the French public has been able to better understand the American "revolution" and the fundamental methodological orientations of contemporary private international law. In his other writings, Bernard Audit has put his personal qualities of precision, clarity and pragmatism at the service of an analysis of the interactions and frictions between legal systems that is still relevant today. His numerous publications are now a reference in France and abroad. As a tribute to the author's work, his colleagues, students and friends have composed this collection of articles entitled Les relations privées internationales. It deals, from a Franco-European or foreign and comparative perspective, with the major issues of international family law, contract law, property law, arbitration law and international civil procedure. The reader will find renewed reflections on the classic questions of fraud, police laws, nationality, autonomy of will, etc. He will be able to discover the very current and innovative reflections inspired by the new forms of conjugal life, the recourse to collective actions in economic matters or the combination of territoriality and extraterritoriality caused by the regulation of the Internet.
