  1. (20 points) Examine the Supreme Court's opinion in World-Wide Volkswagen v. Woodson, 444 U.S. 286 (1980). A copy is posted in the module and is available in the Files section of Canvas. Answer the following questions:
    1. Where did the plaintiffs reside? Where did the defendants reside? (the alignment of the parties is a little tricky in this case. Keep in mind that the appellants aren't always the plaintiffs and the appellees aren't always the defendants).
    2. Why did the court deny personal jurisdiction over the New York defendants?
  2. (20 points) Assume that in the facts underlying the World-Wide Volkswagen case, the seller of the vehicle was Carvana, a nationwide online seller of motor vehicles. Carvana's primary business location is in Tempe, Arizona. Assume further that the accident involving the Woodsons lived in Michigan and that Michigan law applies to the case. Could the Woodsons sue Carvana in Michigan?
  3. (20 points) Examine the decision of the U.S. District Court for Southern District of New York in Freeplay Music v. Gibson Brands, 195 F.Supp.3d 613 (SDNY 2016) and answer the following questions:
    1. Who were the plaintiffs and defendants, and where did they reside?
    2. What was the basis of the lawsuit?
    3. The defendant moved for a change of venue in the case. How did the court rule on the motion? What criteria did the court apply, and which facts did in cite in support of that criteria?
