Supreme Court of the United States · Official docket →

Cooper Tire & Rubber Company v. Tyrance McCall

Paid petition · Supreme Court of Georgia, No. S20G1368 · judgment September 21, 2021

Certiorari denied · June 30, 2023
Pre-decision estimate: 5% cert probability (95% interval 3%–8%)

Before the decision, modestly above the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a circuit split argued in the petition, a petition filed soon after the judgment below, and a business petitioner.

Question presented

Whether the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment permits a state to assert personal jurisdiction over an out-of-state corporation, for claims not arising from or related to any contacts between the corporation and the forum state, on the ground that the corporation’s registration to do business in the state is deemed consent to general jurisdiction there.
