Abstract
This article examines the U.S. phenomenon of so-called "general jurisdiction." General jurisdiction involves unrelated activities of a corporation or business entity that are so pervasive that they subject the corporation to jurisdiction without regard to whether its activities are related to the claim. In two recent cases, the U.S. Supreme Court has seemingly contracted the boundaries of general jurisdiction. This article was cited in the Supreme Court's 2014 decision in Daimler AG v. Bauman finding that the presence in the forum of a subsidiary corporation did not subject it to jurisdiction.
