PJ Flow Chart (Revised)

This document outlines the key concepts around establishing personal jurisdiction in a court, including personal service in the forum state, consent to jurisdiction, minimum contacts with the forum state, and whether the claim arises from contacts with that state. It distinguishes between specific jurisdiction, where the suit arises from contacts with the forum, and general jurisdiction, which applies if the defendant is essentially "at home" in the forum state through extensive contacts.
