This project delves into the complexities of internet jurisdiction within a federal legal system, analyzing key themes and alternatives. It examines how state law asserts jurisdiction while adhering to due process constraints under federal law, informed by international law standards. The discussion covers significant cases such as Compuserve v. Patterson and explores the standards of minimum contacts, purposeful availment, and the Zippo continuum. Furthermore, it addresses the evolving nature of virtual employment, hybrid regulation, and backup enforcement by public agencies, highlighting the need for effective jurisdictional mechanisms.
