    Generally, this power only covers a specific geographic region. For example in the state court system, a court's in personam jurisdiction usually extends to the state's borders, whereas a federal court exerts power over a greater area (Kubasek, Browne, Giampetro-Meyer, Barkacs, Herron, Williamson, & Dhooge, 2011). Because this case involves multiple parties from multiple geographic areas, the statutes regarding in personam jurisdiction must be scrutinized for all three states involved (New York, California, and Florida) before a venue may be decided upon.…
