1Opinion of the Court
SHEPARD, Chief Justice.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has certified two questions regarding Indiana's choice-of-law rules. We hold that there is a true conflict between the choice of law rules of Indiana and the District of Columbia because Indiana does not engage in dépecage and has not adopted the policy analysis component of the Restatement (Second) of Conflict of Laws approach. In so saying, we restate the Indiana choice of law analysis outlined in Hubbard Manufacturing Co. v. Greeson, 515 N.E.2d 1071 (Ind.1987).
