Websites and Personal Jurisdiction
R. David Donoghue over at the excellent Chicago IP Litigation Blog has a write-up of Richter v. INSTAR Enterprises Int’l, Inc., a case from the Northern District of Illinois where a company’s website was found to be insufficient to create personal jurisdiction. This one caught my eye because we are currently covering jurisdiction in Civil Procedure, and if I had come across the same story a week ago, I would not have understood the implications. It’s nice to have these kind of concrete illustrations of how the topics we cover here in school will apply in the real world.
