This is what the Supreme Court does to me. On my vacation. On my anniversary. #RIPmyday
The glacial pace of SCOTUS is astounding. Mallory was argued in NOVEMBER! It is June 22. I have had more published thoughts on personal jurisdiction since November and I had AN ENTIRE BABY during that time!

Really looking forward to this event!!!

Thanks to @KimberlyRobinsn and @WheelerLydia for including me in their podcast episode on Mallory v. Norfolk Southern Rwy. Had fun speaking with them, and it's a great rundown of the case! megaphone.link/BL5054509106
New review up on @IReadJotwell of @LindseyDSimon's Bankruptcy Grifter's article.
Robin J. Effron @IReadJotwell, Fighting the Grift: The Stubborn Creep of Bankruptcy as a Forum for Aggregate Litigation courtslaw.jotwell.com/fighti… reviewing Lindsey D. Simon, Bankruptcy Grifters, 131 Yale L.J. 1154 (2022).

Putting the Fifth Circuit on blast!
Can a court assert personal jurisdiction over a defendant based on a forum selection clause in a contract the defendant never signed? The 5th Circuit says yes. The District of Utah says no. @binsky18 has thoughts (and some questions for the 5th Circuit).

I really, REALLY love whatever is in the @evite /Google/Amazon ad algorithm that sends me an Evite for a 5 year old's birthday party and suggests that I "give the gift of Bitcoin."
Forum Selection Clauses and Non-Signatories: A Play in Three Acts.
Act One
Fifth Circuit: "This doctrine is dubious and vague. And has been questioned by courts and profs. Maybe we should not adopt this "Closely Related and Foreseeable Test."
Act Three
District of Utah (on the very same day)
"There is widespread disagreement on the scope and application of this ill-defined doctrine."
TIL that my Cash Cab episode from like 2009 is still airing from time to time. My 15 minutes of fame go on into infinity, lol!
I still contend that this, along with running @approvemypaper are my two greatest achievements in life.
