Akron Law Review

The United States Court of Appeals, Second Circuit, in O'Connor v. Lee-Hy Paving Corp., upheld New York's insurance attachment procedure which serves as a vehicle for gaining personal jurisdiction over out-of-state defendants in causes of action that arise outside of New York. The court thereby determined that New York federal courts, in applying the procedures, had not violated defendant's due process because the minimum contacts requirement of the recent United Stated Supreme Court case, Shaffer v. Heitner, had been met.

Akron Law Review

In the vast majority of cases, the Ohio Rules of Civil Procedure will be the primary source of authority governing the practice and procedure to be followed. But in some instances, the primary source of authority will be statutory, and the applicable sections of the Ohio Revised Code may or may not be supplemented by the Ohio Rules of Civil Procedure.
