Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Petitioner v. Superior Court of California, San Francisco County, — Sotomayor, J…

Summary

Justice Sotomayor dissents, arguing that the majority’s rule restricting specific jurisdiction for nationwide corporate conduct is inconsistent with fairness and established precedents, and would impede mass actions. She maintains that a corporation’s nationwide advertising and distribution can support jurisdiction over nonresident plaintiffs in a single state court.
