Friday audio--Section B, Section A. Essays ## 6 and 7 will post at 12:30 Wednesday (please note the correction on which essays). Essays ## 8, 9, and 10 will post on Friday or the following Monday. Again, all essays will be due before classes end and reading week begins.
We will cut 10 minutes off class on Wednesday and Friday of next week; we will make it up the following week.
Section B: Remember that we are flipping class with Crim; we will meet at 9 on Wednesday in RDB 2008. Remember that next Friday's class will be in the Courtroom.
Prep the rest of Personal Jurisdiction--Property and Review. We will begin with whether the contacts in Ford "relate to" the claim. What make "relate to" entail beyond what Ford did? Consider: Defendants travel to TX to enter into a contract to provide transportation services for a pipeline project in Colombia; the helicopter crashes in Colombia; plaintiffs sue in TX.
How is Ford not the old "doing business" general jurisdiction? Note Justice Breyer's concerns in Nicastro for Appalachian potters, Brazilian coops, and Egyptian shirtmakers; how should the Shoe algorithm deal with those concerns?
I want to do a short discussion at the end about PJ in federal court. Go back to FRCP 4(k). Consider 18 U.S.C. § 2333, authorizing suit against foreign terrorist organizations, and § 2334, which establishes jurisdictional rules for such actions. Thinking about how Shoe and World Wide define what the the 14th Amendment does, what is different about the due process analysis in federal court and how might that affect the PJ analysis?
