Supreme Court Decision on State Court Jurisdiction The U.S. Supreme Court has held that registration to do business in a state is sufficient for personal jurisdiction even if the subject of the lawsuit has no connection to the state.

Norfolk Southern Railway, the court held that an out-of-state defendant corporation could be subject to general jurisdiction in a state based on its consent through a “doing business” registration.

The first fact that should be noted about traffic warrants is that in most states there is no statute of limitations for traffic violations. This statement in essence means that a traffic violation that was committed in 1980 when a person was in college in a different state is still valid and can be acted upon if he or she is stopped in the state where the violation occurred even today more than thirty years later.
