    With Updated Interpretation in Zezas Ruling, The Times They Are A-Changin’

    In 1964, Bob Dylan told us:

         Come writers and critics
         Who prophesize with your pen
         And keep your eyes wide
         The chance won’t come again
         And don’t speak too soon
         For the wheel’s still in spin
         And there’s no tellin’ who
         That it’s namin’
         For the loser now
         Will be later to win
         For the times they are a-changin’

    The Saiber Construction Law Column: December 2023

    Courts may only hear and decide cases when they have been granted authority over particular matters and when they have personal jurisdiction over the parties to the matter. The U.S. Supreme Court has held that courts may exercise jurisdiction over a party when the party has “minimum contacts” with the state where the lawsuit has been filed. Minimum contacts can be demonstrated by showing that the claim arose from the defendant’s specific activities in the state (specific jurisdiction) or that the defendant has continuous, regular contacts in the state (general jurisdiction).
