Question Presented (from Petition)

1. What objective factors should courts rely upon in
order to determine when personal jurisdiction is
proper in cases where claims may lack strict causal
relationship to a defendant 's contacts with a
forum?

2. Under what conditions does a State 's interests in
guaranteeing the protection, wellbeing and fair
treatment of its citizens and residents create
minimum contacts sufficient to assert personal
jurisdiction over an action where a non-resident
defendant, with meaningful contacts within the
forum recruits its domiciliary to study and work
out of state and then subjects her to violations of
her civil, contractual, statutory and constitutional
rights?
