MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO DISMISS
Defendant, David Jordan, submits this memorandum in support of his motion to dismiss
the above-captioned action for lack of personal jurisdiction.
STATEMENT OF FACT
Defendant is a citizen of the state of Iowa currently residing within the Commonwealth of
Virginia. He was served with process in the town of Lexington within the Commonwealth of
Virginia.
ARGUMENT
L ISSUE 1: ENTIRE CONTRACT IS VOID
The contract with Dickinson College is invalid as a contract of adhesion. The terms of the
agreement were non-negotiated and no valid assent was given due to the great disparity in
bargaining strength between the contracting parties.
II. ISSUE 2: INDIVIDUAL FORUM SELECTION CLAUSE IS INVALID
Even if the entire contract is not invalidated due to the aforementioned issues, the forum
selection clause which grants jurisdiction to the Court of Common Pleas in Cumberland County
Pennsylvania should be invalidated as an adhesion provision.
In support of this request, Defendant alleges that the individual clause was inconspicuous
within the text of the contract and did not require individual assent. The provision was part of a
form contract and was not subject to negotiation. The clause is representative of the unequal
bargaining strength enjoyed by the plaintiff.
In response to this matter, Mr. Jordan respectfully requests that the forum selection clause
be stricken from the contract.
III. ISSUE 3 COURT LACKS JURISDICTION
As an invalid contract of adhesion, the aforementioned provision is insufficient to grant
jurisdiction to this court. In absence of this clause, the defendant does not have sufficient
minimum contacts with the forum to allow out of state service of this claim. In International
Shoe v. Washington, 326 U.S. 310 (1945), the Supreme Court held that in order for a state to
properly exercise jurisdiction over a non-resident defendant not present within the forum state,
that defendant must have such minimum contacts with the forum such that the exercise of
jurisdiction does not offend traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice. Mr. Jordan
currently does not maintain sufficient contacts with Pennsylvania to enable the courts to exercise
general in personam jurisdiction over him.
In addition, jurisdiction cannot be found to lie in this court because such a finding would
be so grossly inconvenient to the defendant as to put him at a severe disadvantage in the
litigation, in violation of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution.
In response to the above issues the defendant requests the court to dismiss the action
against him in Pennsylvania and allow the matter to be taken up in the appropriate Virginia or
Iowa state court.
