Personal jurisdiction is not based on presence within the state. It is divided into two categories: general and specific. A state can claim personal jurisdiction if minimum contact is established.
When an out-of-state party has extensive, systematic and continuous dealings with the state in which the court sits this is general jurisdiction.
When a party does not have extensive, systematic and continuous dealings with the state but has a substantial connection to the party's in-state activity this is specific jurisdiction.

Wow. I'm totally impressed! I still have no idea what this means. Amazing how a native language can be so foreign.
