Introduction to Pennoyer

I. Glenn Cohen

Many Civil Procedure classes spend a long time on Pennoyer. The truth is you can spend a lifetime on it, but life is short. For that reason I have summarized the key take-aways in the cheat sheet and mini-lecture. I would still go ahead and quickly skim the case since, as I say in the video, it is a rite of passage for law students, but we won't be spending much time on it except as a way of framing what comes after and understanding the 4 "traditional bases."
