Forum selection; supplemental jurisdiction

Article Abstract:

The extent of availability of supplemental jurisdiction has become more important in litigation as the forum selection battle has assumed greater importance. Federal courts must look to congressional intent in deciding which cases to hear, and Congress enacted USC 1367 to permit pendent party jurisidiction. Rulings since this USC section dealing with the issue of whether statutory supplemental jurisdiction entirely negates judge-made exercises of ancillary or pendent jurisdiction are discussed.
