The Erie Doctrine, established by the U.S. Supreme Court in Erie Railroad Co. v. Tompkins (1938), dictates that federal courts sitting in diversity jurisdiction must apply state law rather than federal common law when deciding state law claims. This doctrine aims to prevent forum shopping and ensure uniformity in legal outcomes between state and federal courts. Essentially, it emphasizes the importance of state law in cases where the federal court's jurisdiction is based on the parties' diverse citizenship rather than a federal question.
