What jurisdiction does a state have over a non-resident?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from LD Reeder Contractors of Ariz. v. Higgins Industries, 265 F.2d 768 (9th Cir. 1959):
Judicial jurisdiction over nonresidents is one of the shifting areas existing in the conflict of laws. Every law student has studied the landmark case of Pennoyer v. Neff, 1878, 95 U.S. 714, 24 L.Ed. 565, and its rule that a state has judicial jurisdiction over persons within, or domiciled within, its borders.4 But as has been so aptly stated recently, a state also has jurisdiction over and beyond persons within its borders.5
