Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! In today's "Listen and Learn" episode, we look at the various ways of establishing whether a court has jurisdiction over the parties in a lawsuit.
In this episode we discuss:
- Establishing personal jurisdiction through traditional bases
- The difference between "domicile" and "presence"
- Long-arm statutes and ties to the forum state
- The two parts of the constitutional analysis
- General jurisdiction and specific jurisdiction
- Analyzing two hypos from previous California bar exams
- Structuring an answer to a personal jurisdiction question
