Like Byrd? Where you'd apply Federal procedure even though it'd lead to forum shopping/inequitable administration of law because there's a countervailing consideration that Federal courts have an interest in upholding the 7th amendment. Is that what you mean?

According to Clermont, they’re the federal interests in having federal law prevail. And I think you have to look at the context to decide what those interests are in that situation.
