In the span of 30 days, the United States Supreme Court issued three vital decisions changing the landscape for jurisdiction challenges in state and federal courts. These three decisions – TC Heartland, BNSF Railway, and Bristol-Myers Squibb—were from the October 2016 term, argued in March and April 2017, and decided between May 22 and June 19, 2017.
