MALLORY v. NORFOLK SOUTHERN R. CO.
Jackson, J., concurring
“unique about the requirement of personal jurisdiction [that] prevents it from being … waived like other [individual] rights.” Insurance Corp. of Ireland, 456 U. S., at 706.
In short, Insurance Corp. of Ireland makes clear that the personal-jurisdiction requirement is an individual, waivable right, and I agree with the Court that Norfolk Southern waived that right by choosing to register as a foreign corporation under the circumstances presented in this case. Therefore, I perceive no due process problem with the registration statute at issue here.
