PRIVATE INTERNATIONAL LAW
Private international law is the branch of the Spanish legal system that is responsible for regulating international private relations. The process of European integration, the advances in communication and information technologies, the increase in transnational human movements, the so-called economic globalization and the elimination of obstacles to international trade mean that private international relations have gone from being the exception to be the general rule. Students who study law must be aware of this reality, know the tools that private international law establishes to ensure proper regulation of these relationships and reflect on the principles that should inspire such regulation.
