Jurisdiction and Procedure

The Litigation Center champions the jurisdictional and procedural principles that serve as the bedrock of a stable and predictable legal system.  For example, the Litigation Center has urged courts not to shy away from exercising their jurisdiction, while cautioning them to ensure that the key requirements for such jurisdiction are in place. 

The Litigation Center has filed dozens of briefs on issues of standing, personal jurisdiction, and venue; actively argues for appropriate limits on the extraterritorial application of state and federal law; and promotes rational discovery and evidence rules that are fair to all parties.
