Following completion of the client interview with Robbie Robinson, and after obtaining some additional information outside of the interview, Attorney Casey Collins learns that there may be more than one defendant in the lawsuit resulting from Robbie's accident with the MiniCooper. The occupants of the vehicle are also planning to sue the owner of Frankie's Flowers who also own the van Robbie was driving. Frankie's Flowers is actually owned by a corporation, Frankie's Flowers, Inc, with a corporate headquarters in Alexandria, VA.

Casey tells you that you will need to conduct some preliminary research regarding the appropriate jurisdiction for the passengers' case against Robbie and Frankie and compile your findings in a memo for the file.

Instructions

Draft a memorandum that presents your findings.

1. Research and identify the appropriate jurisdiction and venue for the passenger's case against Robbie and Frankie.

Include a description of both personal and subject-matter jurisdiction, and application of the relevant law to the facts of the case, with respect to each of these types of jurisdiction.

If you need additional information to determine the appropriate jurisdiction, include a detailed description of what is needed.

References: Use appropriateBluebookcitations for anylegal sources; when citing to case law, cite to the regional reporter, rather than state reporters and do not provide parallel citations.
