Eulala Shute lived in Arlington, Washington, and through a local travel agent purchased a seven-day Carnival cruise. The cruise began in Los Angeles, went to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and then returned to Los Angeles. Carnival Cruise Lines, Inc., the owner of the ship and the firm responsible for the cruise, is a corporation based in Miami, Florida. While the cruise ship was in international waters off of Mexico, Shute tripped and fell on a deck mat during a guided tour of the ship's galley.
Shute filed suit in federal district court in the state of Washington against Carnival to recover for her injuries. Could the Washington court take in personam jurisdiction over Carnival? [ Carnival Cruise Lines, Inc. v Shute, 499 U.S. 585 (1991)]
