Venue Vs Personal Jurisdiction

Summary

Venue and personal jurisdiction are distinct legal concepts. Venue refers to the geographical location of the court, while personal jurisdiction is the courts power over the parties. In New York, federal courts have jurisdiction in diversity cases if parties are from different states and the amount in dispute exceeds $75,000. The venue is typically where the defendant resides or where the event occurred. The Doing Business standard allows the plaintiff to establish venue if the defendant conducts business in the plaintiffs forum state. The case International Shoe Co. V.
