Personal jurisdiction for the MBE (Professor Nathenson, May 2015)

This is the fourth in a series of videos recorded July 2015 as part of a review of Civil Procedure topics in preparation for the July 2015 MBE (Multistate Bar Examination).
This fourth video covers selected issues regarding personal jurisdiction (PJ). Topics covered include:
* PJ in federal versus state court
* In rem/quasi in rem versus in personam jurisdiction
* Traditional bases for PJ
* The modern "minimum contacts" approach
* Specific versus general jurisdiction
* Ways of showing purposeful availment
* What it means to "give rise" to a claim
* Reasonableness factors
I have many, many additional resources on PJ, some of which are noted by annotations:
* PJ resources page including handouts and problem sets at www.nathenson.org/courses/civp.... This page also has links to other PJ videos I have done.
* My "Coggle" PJ flowchart that is used in this video: www.nathenson.org/courses/civp...
* An extended review (nearly 90 minutes) done as "PJ Big Picture Day" in Fall 2014 can be found at • Personal jurisdiction ... .
Caveat to those taking the bar exam: This video and the other videos in this series are directed towards preparation for the MBE multiple-choice exam. Time constraints prevent me from discussing all potential Civil Procedure MBE topics or issues listed in the MBE outline that might arise on the bar exam, and these same constraints limit the depth of information I can provide. Contrary to what the Rolling Stones claim, time is not on our side.
Caveat to JD students: These videos focus on selected basics with an eye towards the bar exam. They stick to the basics and do not cover the law with the level of depth that I would expect from a JD student taking a professor-written examination.
