In Mallory, the U.S. Supreme Court held that out-of-state entities may be required to consent to personal jurisdiction in Pennsylvania because the Due Process Clause does not prohibit a state from requiring an out-of-state corporation to consent to general personal jurisdiction as a condition of registering to do business. This panel will discuss general and specific jurisdiction issues, what the Mallory holding implies in other jurisdictions, and the potential impact of the Dormant Commerce Clause.
