Report Reveals Ongoing Crisis and Urgent Need for Reform
Etheridge v. Samsung SDI Co.
(5th Circ., filed September 22, 2023): Arguing that due process requires a “strong relationship” among the defendant, the forum and the litigation.

Neither a plaintiff’s actions nor a third-party’s actions can create a “strong relationship” between the defendant and the forum.
