Stewart Organization Inc. v. Ricoh Corp. 487 U.S. 22 (1988) is a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court further refined the test for determining whether federal courts sitting in diversity must apply state law as opposed to federal law (known as an Erie question). The question in Stewart was whether the federal venue transfer statute 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) occupied the field or whether Alabama law’s unfavorable stance towards forum-selection clauses should instead be applied.
