BLOG: THE STATE TRIAL COURTS OF MICHIGAN<\/div>\n
There are many different courts and administrative tribunals in Michigan and depending on the type and size of your dispute, you can end up in many different places. <\/div>\n
PERSONAL JURISDICTION:<\/div>\n
Personal jurisdiction is the power a court has over an individual to make them answerable to a complaint filed in court. Personal jurisdiction can be general or limited (sometimes called \u201clong arm\u201d jurisdiction). If you reside in Michigan or a company conducts a regular part of its business in the state or is headquartered in the state, it is going to be subject to the general jurisdiction of a state court. An individual can bring a lawsuit against that Michigan resident or company even if that person doesn\u2019t live in Michigan.<\/div>\n
When an individual or a company does not reside in the state, but takes advantage of business opportunities or protections of the state, they may be subject to the limited personal jurisdiction of a court.<\/div>\n
SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION:<\/div>\n
Subject matter jurisdiction is the power a court has over the issue in dispute.<\/div>\n
Depending on the issue involved, a person can end up in one of several state trial courts.<\/div>\n
