Highlights
On April 25, the Supreme Court agreed to consider the following
two questions:
Does the Due Process Clause prohibit states from requiring
out-of-state corporations to consent to personal jurisdiction as a
condition of doing business?
When does the statute of limitations begin to run on a
due-process claim seeking to compel DNA testing of crime-scene
evidence?
On April 25, the U.S. Supreme Court added two more cases to its
docket for next term. The first addresses whether states may
require corporations to consent to personal jurisdiction as a
condition of doing business, and the second concerns when the
limitations period begins for constitutional claims seeking to
force state officials to conduct DNA tests of crime-scene
evidence.
