Apparently, There Are Places Like Home: A Path to Propriety for Consent-by-Registration Jurisdiction in the Third Circuit

This Comment examines consent-by-registration jurisdiction in the Third Circuit and argues that corporate registration should confer general jurisdiction only when a state provides clear statutory notice that registration constitutes consent. Analyzing post-Daimler AG v. Bauman case law, the Comment contends that consent remains a valid basis for personal jurisdiction, but only if the consent is knowing and voluntary. It concludes that Pennsylvania’s explicit statutory scheme satisfies this requirement, while the registration regimes in Delaware and New Jersey do not because they rely on judicial interpretation rather than clear legislative notice.[This abstract was written by Microsoft Copilot, a generative artificial intelligence.]
