doing-business statute

A quick definition of doing-business statute:

A doing-business statute is a law in a state that says what actions count as doing business there. This helps determine when the state's courts can have power over someone who doesn't live there. It's like a rulebook for when someone from another place wants to do business in that state.

A more thorough explanation:

A doing-business statute is a law in a state that outlines the actions that qualify as conducting business in that state. The purpose of this law is to determine when the state's courts can exercise personal jurisdiction over a nonresident.

For example, if a company based in California sells products to customers in New York, they may be subject to the jurisdiction of New York courts if they meet the criteria outlined in New York's doing-business statute. This could include having a physical presence in the state, such as a store or office, or conducting a certain amount of business within the state.

Another example could be a freelance writer based in Texas who writes articles for a magazine based in Florida. If the magazine does not pay the writer for their work, the writer may be able to sue the magazine in Florida courts if they meet the criteria outlined in Florida's doing-business statute.

In summary, a doing-business statute is a law that helps determine when a state's courts can exercise jurisdiction over a nonresident based on their business activities within the state.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs

UMN under review! As predicted, decisions are gonna come out early December
Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years

I mean if Fordham doesn't release today I will purposefully get on a train, go to new york, and then take the stinkiest shit inside the admission office's toilet (potentially clogging it and forcing them to get a plumber)
IS IT ONLY ON MY END WHY DID THAT SEND TEN MILLION TIMES
