304: Spotlight on Civil Procedure (Part 1 – Jurisdiction)

Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! This is the first of three episodes in which we review the substantive Civil Procedure law we've covered in our "Listen and Learn" series. Today we're talking about jurisdiction, or the power of a court to try a matter.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Subject matter jurisdiction
• Personal jurisdiction
• Venue and forum non conveniens
• Exam strategy for jurisdiction issues
