Forum v Jurisdiction

Forum v Jurisdiction

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.
