Abstract
As a dedication to Walter V. Schaefer, a preeminent state court judge, this article is addressed to state court justice. The problem it addresses is the question of state court jurisdiction in cases that have out-of-state elements, the problem classically associated in American law with the decision in Pennoyer v. Neff Its purpose is to suggest how that problem might be looked at in the future. In advancing that suggestion, existing law is taken as a point of departure in the quest for doctrine better suited to the exigencies of modem litigation. What is sought is an organizing idea toward which decisional law should tend with definite but unhurried purpose.
