Personal Jurisdiction, Comparativism, and Ford

Abstract
In 2021, the Supreme Court decided Ford Motor Co. v. Montana Eighth Judicial District, which applied the requirement of personal jurisdiction that the defendant’s in-state contacts “give rise to or relate to” the cause of action. This Article puts Ford in doctrinal context by showing that Ford completes a triangulation of specific personal jurisdiction; the Article also identifies questions for the Court to answer in the future. The Article then situates the post-Ford doctrine of U.S. personal jurisdiction in a global context and concludes that the doctrine continues to move in its own direction, rather than in concert with that of other countries.
