Is there Jurisdiction?

Look at the situations below and answer the question. Make sure to distinguish between subject matter and personal jurisdiction.  Additionally, discuss the standard the court will use to determine whether jurisdiction exists.  

Situation 1: Mike, a Utah resident, sues Jim, a Nevada resident for $60,000 in Nevada’s Federal District court for negligence (a state law civil suit).  Jim argues that the case should be dismissed for a lack of subject matter jurisdiction.  Is he right?  

Situation 2: Bill, a California resident, sues Bob, also a California resident, for copyright infringement, a cause of action arising under federal law, in a Federal District Court in California.  Bob argues that there is no subject matter jurisdiction. Is he right? 

Situation 3:  Billy, a Seattle, Washington resident, sues the Orange Corporation, a Texas corporation, under a breach of contract (a state law cause of action) in Washington State Court for $100,000.   The Orange Corporation does most of its business in Texas. It is incorporated in Texas, and its corporate Headquarters are located in Dallas, Texas. However, the Orange Corporation does have a branch office in Seattle, Washington where it employs a single salesman. Additionally, the corporation advertises in the Seattle.  The corporation argues that Washington lacks personal jurisdiction over the corporation. Is the corporation right? Assume for this question that Washington may exercise personal jurisdiction to the extent permitted by the Constitution of the United States.  Be sure to list the standard the court will apply.  

Situation 4: Same facts as above. Assume the court finds there is personal jurisdiction. Can the Orange Corporation have the case removed to federal court?

Vector-Borne, Zoonotic, and Toxic Metal Risks Plagues, outbreaks, and disasters can have a catastrophic impact on health. Therefore, it is vital for environmental and public health practitioners to pay attention to the agents of environmental disease to prevent potential epidemics. During this week's Discussion, you analyze the vector-borne, zoonotic, and toxic metal concerns in your region. Additionally, you survey a range of concerns in the locations of your colleagues.  To prepare for this Discussion, read Chapters 5 and 6 of the course text. Review the PowerPoint presentations and the media presentation "Agents of Environmental Disease." Investigate the following websites:

• Visit the website of your own state's department of public health and your county's local public health agency. Investigate health risks that are relevant to your region. Make sure to use only government and other reliable websites when researching information on environmental risks in your area.   
• Review the National Center for Emerging Zoonotic and Infectious Diseases website. Find information regarding various health risks and what to do when faced with them.   
• Review the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) website. Consider the methods that the CDC recommends for prevention of outbreaks and also some of the challenges faced.

By Day 4, post a brief description of one vector-borne risk, one zoonotic risk, and one toxic metal risk in your region. Describe some of the methods for controlling the risks you selected. Then, analyze how the risks in your area compare to those of a different location. Explain the similarities and differences. Finally, explain probable reasons for those differences.

Can you imagine an effective leader who is not an effective communicator? Leadership communication skills are very important. Some would call effective communication the most important leadership competency. Without the skills of effective communication, you will not be an effective leader, especially in this complex, fast-paced environment. 

It is important for the leader to create an environment of open communication where ideas, solutions, and problems can all be discussed without fear. When employees understand that communication is open and encouraged, they will perform better. 

Using the assigned readings, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, research communication competencies required for leaders. 

Then, respond to the following:

• What are some key communication competencies needed in leaders today? 

• Is individual communication more important than group or mass communication? Why or why not? 

• List 2–4 strategies that leaders can use to improve their individual communication skills. Which method is most important? Why?

By Week 3, Day 3, post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area. Through Week 3, Day 7, review and comment on at least two peers’ responses.

Write your initial response in 300–500 words. Your response should be thorough and address all components of the discussion question in detail, include citations of all sources, where needed, according to the APA Style, and demonstrate accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation

Do the following when responding to your peers: 

• Read your peers’ answers.

• Provide substantive comments by 

o contributing new, relevant information from course readings, Web sites, or other sources; 

o building on the remarks or questions of others; or 

o sharing practical examples of key concepts from your professional or personal experiences

• Respond to feedback on your posting and provide feedback to other students on their ideas.

• Make sure your writing
