The Trilogy of Personal Jurisdiction and the Importance of Ford

Congratulations to PLAC Sustaining Member Jonathan Hoffman (MB Law Group) and PLAC Future Leader Jason Proctor who, with co-author Michaela Cloutier, (both of Flaherty Sensabaugh Bonasso PLLC) have published an article exploring the jurisprudence of personal jurisdiction and the Supreme Court decisions that establish a compelling framework for resolving personal jurisdiction disputes.  The article, The Trilogy of Personal Jurisdiction and the Importance of Ford, 76 SMU L. Rev. 725 (2023), provides a thoughtful analysis of the Supreme Court’s recent guidance on the issue as well as a comprehensive resource for the developing case law across jurisdictions.  The article appears in the most recent edition of SMU’s law review.
 
PLAC was honored to coordinate the collaboration of these authors as part of its Publication Project which brings together Sustaining Members and Future Leaders to contribute to the scholarship and thought leadership on issues of importance to the product defense bar.
