The glacial pace of SCOTUS is astounding. Mallory was argued in NOVEMBER! It is June 22. I have had more published thoughts on personal jurisdiction since November and I had AN ENTIRE BABY during that time!

Check out my latest post on the Transnational Litigation Blog. Putting the Fifth Circuit on blast!
Can a court assert personal jurisdiction over a defendant based on a forum selection clause in a contract the defendant never signed? The 5th Circuit says yes. The District of Utah says no. @binsky18 has thoughts (and some questions for the 5th Circuit). tlblog.org/the-controversy-o…

Forum Selection Clauses and Non-Signatories: A Play in Three Acts. Act One Fifth Circuit: "This doctrine is dubious and vague. And has been questioned by courts and profs. Maybe we should not adopt this "Closely Related and Foreseeable Test."

Our underlying article is Forum Selection Clauses, Non-Signatories, and Personal Jurisdiction, 97 Notre Dame L. Rev. 187 (2021). Who wore it best, folks? The 5th Cir., or the D. of Utah? (It's nice to be cited and excuse for ye olde Humble Brag.). But really! Come on, 5th cir!

TIL that my Cash Cab episode from like 2009 is still airing from time to time. My 15 minutes of fame go on into infinity, lol! I still contend that this, along with running @approvemypaper are my two greatest achievements in life.
