Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The minimum contacts doctrine was established in International Shoe Co. v. Washington (1945), which held that a nonresident defendant's contacts with a state must be sufficient to justify the state's exercise of personal jurisdiction over the defendant. The Supreme Court has since developed different tests to determine whether a defendant has had sufficient minimum contacts with a state, such as the "purposeful availment" test and the "stream of commerce" test. Ultimately, even minimal contacts can be enough in some cases, depending on the circumstances.
