#CivilProcedure #PersonalJurisdiction

Incredibly helpful resource from John Coyle, Bill Dodge, and Aaron Simowitz at Transnational Litigation Blog:

A roundup of US judicial decisions in 2022 dealing with #ChoiceOfLaw, #Extraterritoriality, #HumanRights litigation in US courts, #SovereignImmunity, foreign official immunity, #ActOfState doctrine, #PersonalJurisdiction, #ServiceOfProcess, #ForumNonConveniens, and recognition and enforcement of judgments.

I'll be putting it to good use today!
