Abstract

The World Wide Web and the Internet are beginning to exert enormous influence on how real estate transactions are conducted. Real estate professionals are now subject to new challenges and opportunities since they may now market their services to potentially millions of prospective clients in multiple jurisdictions. However, the ability to transcend state boundaries may expose them to a potentially complex and important procedural legal issue: personal jurisdiction. Personal jurisdiction regulates where a plaintiff can sue a defendant in a civil case. This article discusses the concept and policies underlying personal jurisdiction, how the law is evolving in cyberbusiness, and how this may apply to real estate professionals engaged in multi-state activities.
