In recent years, the United States Supreme has Court narrowed the circumstances under which personal jurisdiction may be exercised, against particularly out-of-state corporate defendants. generallySee Michael H. Hoffheimer, The Stealth Revolution in Personal Jurisdiction , 70 Fla. L. Rev. 499 (2018). Yet these changes are not reflected in Michigan fully decisions addressingpersonal jurisdiction, leading to a potential trap for a practitioner looking only at Michigan law. case This article provides a brief overview of the recent constitutional constraints imposed on personal jurisdiction, and then considers the potential for a Michigan court to exercise personal jurisdiction under a consent-by- registration theory, where jurisdiction would lacking. be otherwise Essential Background A court’s exercise of personal jurisdiction must comport with both the jurisdictional statutes in the state where the court sits, and the Fourteenth Amendment’s Process Due Clause. Goodyear Dunlop Tires Operations , S.A. Brown v. under Process the Due jurisdiction theory Clause is a defendant’s “contacts” with the forum (i.e., the stronger the contacts, the less Process the Due concerns). Personal jurisdiction comes in two flavors: general (“all-purpose”) and General (“limited”).specific jurisdiction is constitutionallypermissible when a defendant is “essentially at home” in a state, that in which case state’s courts can any “hear and claims” all against the defendant, regardless of whether the claims have any factual connection to the state. Daimler See AG v. Bauman, 571 U.S. 117, 122 (2014). In contrast, specific permissible jurisdiction is only where the suit “arises out of or relates to the defendant’s contacts with the forum.” Id Following the Supreme Court’s decision seminal of Int’l Shoe Co. v. Washington defendant may subject to be general jurisdiction on based “continuous and systematic” contacts with the forum. But following in the decades Int’l Shoe Co. and systematic” contacts. Similarly, for specific courtsjurisdiction, have disagreed over the requisite nexus claims the and between the alleged defendant’s contacts with the forum. The SupremeCourt’s Clamp Down Recent The discord surrounding “continuous and systematic” contacts was largely put to rest in the Supreme Court’s Daimler AG v. Baumandecision, issued in 2014, which essentially confined general jurisdiction over a company to its place of incorporation and its principal place of business (albeit leaving the door open for an “exceptional case” where general jurisdiction could exist in the absence of those two conditions). Daimler n.19. In other words, Daimler systematic’ contacts test for general jurisdiction.” Toward Charles Rhodes, See a New Equilibrium in Personal Jurisdiction , 48 U.C. Davis L. Rev. 207, 209 Court’s(2014). The decision in Daimler coincides with increasingly restrictive positions has the Court taken on specific jurisdiction, most recently in Bristol- Myers Squibb Co. v. Superior Court, 137 S. Ct. 1773 (2017). r

The Washtenaw County Bar Association is sponsoring NO FEES DAY In Celebration of Law Day, USA

Thursday, April 30, 2020 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Ann Arbor District Library, 343 S. Fifth Ave., Ann Arbor Ypsilanti District Library, 229 W. Michigan Ave., Ypsilanti

During Law Day, USA, members of the public come in for a free 20-30 minute consul- tation. Most needed areas of law are family, landlord/tenant, real estate, estate planning, probate, and general civil. We also usually have a few inquiries in criminal, employment, and consumer protection areas of law.

Contact Kelley Lindquist at 734-994-4912 or [email protected] to volunteer and to tell us the areas of law in which you will give consultations and which location works best for you.

Thank you in advance! We couldn’t do this without you.

A minimum liability policy is required for participation.

If you are running late the day of the event, please call the WCBA office at 734-994-4912.
