Could anyone point me to a link giving a basic, plain language discussion of the difference between forum and jurisdiction in American law? Something that I could use with a group of non-US lawyers – clear, not too long, basic distinctions? Thanks.
Dear Kenneth,
I recently wrote a note on jurisdiction and forum issues under ACTA. Hope this helps.

Here is a basic, plain language summary: http://www.answers.com/topic/personal-jurisdiction (West’s Encyclopedia of American Law via Answers.com)
Thanks! That’s exactly what I’m looking for – plain, basic, and not too long.
