Abstract
The assertion of personal jurisdiction over non-resident defendants traditionally has been based on the nature of the defendant's contacts with the forum. Courts tended to consider concepts such as "minimum contacts" in terms of physical notions, such as travel to the forum state or delivery of goods there. However, e-commerce and other online transactions do not always provide physical indicators of contact, and questions have arisen as to whether contact via the Internet is sufficient to allow assertion of personal jurisdiction. This Note surveys recent e-commerce cases and suggests the need for a more uniform judicial approach to application of personal jurisdiction analysis.
