Issue: Whether, under the due process clause of the
14th Amendment to the Constitution, virtual contacts can establish specific
personal jurisdiction over a nonresident defendant
under the effects-based test of Calder v. Jones, when the relevant online
activity is equally accessible nationwide but its
content focuses on the forum state and the tortfeasor
has knowingly caused the plaintiff to suffer
reputational and emotional harm in the forum state, a
question left open by the Supreme Court’s decision in Walden
v. Fiore.
