Q2. Professor Winkelman has been hired as an adjunct professor to teach 3 classes online for SUNY Old Westbury. He lives 4 hours from the College in CT and has not been given an office and has no obligations on the campus. He must supply his own computer and teach the three classes online. Professor Winkelman does all of this from CT. He actually interviewed online via skype, had his contract mailed to him and signed and mailed it back to CT having never set foot in NYS. Professor Winkelman has actually heard NY is a scary place and has never visited NY, never set foot in NY and hopes to never go to NY. a) Student James Hood, a resident of NY, believes he was treated unfairly by Professor Winkelman and is stunned he failed the class. He has filed a lawsuit against Professor Winkelman in NY. Professor Winkelman who lives in CT, feels all lawsuits pertaining to him should only be filed in CT. Please Analyze whether there is personal jurisdiction for Professor Winkelman to be forced to defend a lawsuit in NY. b) Does NY or CT have the right to tax the income under this situation. (Make good legal arguments for the position you are taking) Please cite constitutional limitations, caselaw and appropriate legal tests under this scenario. Q2.
