Examination Question: Read the following
"Sarah H. Cleveland is the Louis Henkin Professor of Human and
Constitutional Rights at Columbia Law School. She is a noted advocate of
the use of international law in U.S. courts.
In her widely celebrated 2007 Civil Procedure final exam, she referenced
Wikipedia to highlight how fraught personal jurisdiction issues have
become in the Internet age. Students were asked to analyze whether an
allegedly defamatory Wikipedia page edit could establish jurisdiction
over the user in an unforeseeable State, so long as the defamation
created harm in that State.
She is a graduate of Brown University, University of Oxford as a Rhodes
Scholar, and Yale Law School."
Taken from Wikipedia's article on Prof. Cleveland.
