 Is the corporation right? Assume that Washington may exercise personal jurisdiction to the extent permitted by the Constitution of the United States. Be sure to list the standard the court will apply. 

Answer the question by looking at the scenarios listed below. Separate subject matter from personal jurisdiction, if necessary. Discuss the court’s criteria to assess if it also has jurisdiction.

Situation 1: In a state law civil lawsuit for $60,000, Mike, a citizen of Utah, accuses Jim, a resident of Nevada, of negligence. Jim states the case should be dismissed since the court lacked subject matter jurisdiction. Is he correct?

Situation 2: In a federal district court in California, Bill, a California resident, sues Bob, also a California citizen, for copyright infringement, a cause of action emerging under federal law. There is no subject matter jurisdiction, according to Bob. Is he correct?

Situation 3: Billy, a citizen of Seattle, Washington, sues Orange Corporation, a Texas corporation, in Washington State Court for $100,000 for breach of contract (a state law cause of action). The majority of The Orange Corporation’s operations are in Texas. It was incorporated in Texas, and Dallas, Texas, is the home of its corporate headquarters. The Orange Corporation does, however, maintain a branch office in Seattle, Washington, where it has one salesperson working there. The business also runs advertisements in Seattle. The corporation claims that Washington doesn’t have personal jurisdiction over it. Is the business in the right? For this inquiry, assume that Washington may exercise personal jurisdiction to the extent permitted under the US Constitution. Make careful to include the criteria the court will use.

Similar circumstances apply in situation 4. Let’s say the court decides it has personal jurisdiction. Can Orange Corporation request that the lawsuit be transferred to a federal court?
