Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

GlobalTech, a software company incorporated in Nevada, frequently sells its products online to customers across multiple states, including Illinois. Although GlobalTech does not have a physical presence in Illinois, it maintains an Illinois-based customer support center and actively markets its products to Illinois residents. An Illinois resident, Jane Doe, files a lawsuit in Illinois state court against GlobalTech for defective software. GlobalTech argues that the Illinois court does not have personal jurisdiction over it. Which of the following best describes the court’s likely authority to hear the case?

  • The Illinois court has personal jurisdiction over GlobalTech because it actively markets and supports its products in Illinois.

  • The Illinois court does not have personal jurisdiction because GlobalTech is incorporated in Nevada and has no physical presence in Illinois.

  • The Illinois court can hear the case because the sale was made online to an Illinois resident.

  • The Illinois court has personal jurisdiction if Jane Doe can prove GlobalTech has assets in Illinois.
