WLF Tells California High Court to Enforce U.S. Supreme Court’s Personal Jurisdiction Limits

On June 10, 2015, Washington Legal Foundation (WLF) told the California Supreme Court it should enforce limits imposed on state courts to exercise personal jurisdiction over out-of-state defendants. In the brief filed in Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. v. Superior Court, WLF argues that the lower courts in this case wrongly refused to abide by a 2014 U.S. Supreme Court decision cutting back on state courts’ power to assert jurisdiction over out-of-state corporations.
