Excerpt from New American Supplement to the Latest Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, Vol. 27 of 5: A Standard Work of Reference in Art, Literature, Science, History, Geography, Commerce, Biography, Discovery and Invention Foreign Judgment, in the United States, a judgment rendered by a tribunal of another nation, or another state of the United States. Such judgments may be proved by producing an exemplified copy of the record of the court, showing the proceedings in the suit in which the judgment was rendered. Judgment in one state may be evidenced in the courts of another state by producing a copy of the proceedings, attested by the clerk and seal of the court wherein the judgment was rendered, together with the certificate of the judge or chief justice of said court that the certificate of the clerk is authentic. The certificate of the judge must be further authenticated by the clerk, who shall certify that such judge was, at the time of making the certificate, duly commissioned and qualified. Transcripts of records thus exemplified must, under the laws of the United States, have such faith and credit given to them in every court and office within the United States as they would have by law in the courts of the state wherein the judgment was rendered. By the constitution of the United States it is provided that full faith and credit shall be given in every state to the judicial proceedings of the courts of another state. Congress may fix the method of proving such proceedings. Foreign Laws include the laws of foreign nations, and in the United States, to a limited extent, the laws of another state. Courts will not take judicial notice of foreign laws, and such laws must be proven in some proper manner, in order to give them effect outside of the jurisdiction in which they are in force. The decisions of the courts of the various states are somewhat in conflict as to how far the courts will take judicial notice of the laws of another state. The general rule would seem to be, that the statutes of another state must be proven, and, in the absence of any evidence as to the laws of that state, the common law will be presumed to prevail.
