See below. (Whoever wrote that is wrong. Pennoyer v. Neff has never been overruled by the Supreme Court. In fact, in Burnham v. Superior Court, 495 U.S. 604, the Court specifically reaffirmed one of Pennoyer's key holdings--that personal service within the jurisdiction (i.e. Presence) is adequate to establish in personam jurisdiction. See below.)<---Whoever said that it was never overruled is not entirely correct.

The above was moved from the article. Whatever the outcome, it needs to be cited. For what its worth, if you KeyCite (or Shepardize) Pennoyer it lists Int'l Shoe as overruling Pennoyer in part. But I'm too lazy to pull out my textbook for a proper rendering of this issue with citations. Aboutmovies (talk) 00:44, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
