Priyа (а U.S. citizen dоmiciled in Sаnta Fe, New Mexicо) and Pablо (a citizen of Ecuador who lives in Corpus Christi, Texas but isn’t a permanent resident of the U.S.) enter into a contract with Dora (a Mexican citizen living in Monterrey, Mexico) and Deja (a Texas citizen domiciled in Corpus Christi), to market and sell sunflower plants. All the negotiations take place via email, from the respective homes of the parties. Everyone is aware of the other parties’ citizenship and residency. The contract provides that plants grown in Monterrey are to be transported across the border to Corpus Christi, where they would be sold to consumers. Dora and Deja fail to fulfill their responsibilities, leading Priya and Pablo to sue them for $2 million in damages they suffered. The case is filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, where Corpus Christi is located. Assume Texas’s long-arm statute allows personal jurisdiction to the full extent the Constitution permits. Which of the following motions is likely to be granted?
ESSAY QUESTION TWO (25% - 45 minutes) Cоnsider the fоllоwing stаtement from Justice Gorsuch’s concurring opinion in Ford Motor Compаny v. Montаna Eighth Judicial District: Maybe … International Shoe just doesn’t work quite as well as it once did. For a period, its specific jurisdiction test might have seemed a reasonable new substitute for assessing corporate “presence,” a way to identify those out-of-state corporations that were simply pretending to be absent from jurisdictions where they were really transacting business. When a company “purposefully availed” itself of the benefits of another State’s market in the 1940s, it often involved sending in agents, advertising in local media, or developing a network of on-the-ground dealers, much as Ford did in these cases. But, today, even an individual retiree carving wooden decoys in Maine can “purposefully avail” himself of the chance to do business across the continent after drawing online orders to his e-Bay “store” thanks to Internet advertising with global reach. A test once aimed at keeping corporations honest about their out-of-state operations now seemingly risks hauling individuals to jurisdictions where they have never set foot. … I cannot help but wonder if we are destined to return where we began. Perhaps all of this Court’s efforts since International Shoe, including those of today’s majority, might be understood as seeking to recreate in new terms a jurisprudence about corporate jurisdiction that was developing before this Court’s muscular interventions in the early 20th century. Perhaps it was, is, and in the end always will be about trying to assess fairly a corporate defendant’s presence or consent. International Shoe may have sought to move past those questions. But maybe all we have done since is struggle for new words to express the old ideas. Perhaps, too, none of this should come as a surprise. New technologies and new schemes to evade the process server will always be with us. But if our concern is with “traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice” (emphasis added), not just our personal and idiosyncratic impressions of those things, perhaps we will always wind up asking variations of the same questions. Do you agree with Justice Gorsuch? In explaining your views, explaining how his view differs from that of the majority and putting it in the context of the Court’s personal jurisdiction jurisprudence as it has developed over time, discussing relevant cases.
