What if a person in one state was sueing a person in another state, but the laws in the two different states were different? How would the judge make the decision on who gets what they wanted?

There is really a lot more info needed to answer this question the right way, A lot of it depends on the state the lawsuit if filed in. Thats the laws they go by in most cases. Tehre are conditions to this, as a lot of states have similar but also different laws, if you are suing someone from another state it jsut depends on what type of lawsuit it is and also it depends on where it originated from. The best thing for you to do is ask an attorney who can sit down with you and get much needed info on this.

It depends on the venue used. The judge is going to go by the laws in the state he presides. In most cases, you have the choice to file the suit in your state or the defendant's state. Figure out which is better for you and file there.

Judge would have to sit on the fence, confer with judges sitting on the bench, on opposing sides.
