Personal Jurisdiction in State Court

The video tutorial explains how jurisdiction is established in both criminal and civil cases. In criminal matters, jurisdiction is straightforward if the crime occurs within a state's boundaries. In civil cases, personal jurisdiction requires delivering a summons, either when the person is physically present in the state or through a long arm statute if they have minimum contacts with the state. The long arm statute allows for jurisdiction over individuals outside the state under specific conditions, ensuring constitutional protections against unwarranted jurisdiction.
