Question Presented (from Petition)
QUESTION PRESENTED Does the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause permit the exercise of personal jurisdiction over a nonresident defendant lacking any contacts with the forum state, on the sole basis that the defendant’s “close relationship” with a third-party signatory to a contractual forum-selection clause renders litigation in that forum foreseeable, given that this Court has repeatedly held that foreseeability alone is inadequate for jurisdiction?
