Zembrka, et al. v. American Girl, LLC
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, No. 21-1381 · judgment September 17, 2024
Before the decision, modestly above the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a Second Circuit decision below, a circuit split argued in the petition, and a petition filed soon after the judgment below, and down for a business respondent.
Question presented
Whether an e-commerce seller’s virtual presence and conduct – operating an interactive website accessible in a forum state – constitutes “minimum contacts” sufficient to establish specific personal jurisdiction.
