Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

A plaintiff files a lawsuit against a defendant in a federal court located in State X. The defendant, who resides and operates a business exclusively in State Y, has no physical presence or business activities in State X. However, the defendant has a website that allows residents of all states, including State X, to purchase products online. No specific sales or transactions have been made by the defendant with customers in State X. Does the court in State X have personal jurisdiction over the defendant?

  • Yes, because the accessibility of the defendant's website in State X establishes minimum contacts.

  • Yes, because the defendant's online presence allows customers from all states, including State X, to access and interact with their business.

  • No, because personal jurisdiction is established if the defendant has a physical presence or conducts activities in State X.

  • No, because the defendant has not purposefully directed significant business or activities toward the residents of State X.
