Supreme Court's Misguided Assumption on General Jurisdiction Could Favor Local Defendants
The idea that general jurisdiction always provides a clear place to sue defendants is not true. Even when defendants can be sued in their home state, cases can still be dismissed for convenience. Relying too much on general jurisdiction can lead to unfair advantages for local defendants and push cases to states that may not want them. Instead, the focus should be on specific jurisdiction, which allows for a more flexible approach to determining where a case should be heard.
