Abstract

The United States Supreme Court has held that a state's assertion of quasi in rem jurisdiction over a nonresident defendant by attachment of the contractual obligation of the defendant's liability insurer, who is licensed to do business in the forum, is unconstitutional absent other contacts between the defendant and the forum.
