Question:
Everyone sat silently in the conference room until the receptionist said, "You can go in." An impressive, long table stood in the middle of the mahogany-paneled room. Both parties sat down and were soon joined by a panel of there arbitrators. They told everyone that they had read the file, were familiar with the facts of the case, and were present as a neutral panel. The aggrieved/injured party explained that she wanted to reach some kind of agreement before the day is through. The other side, a manager of a restaurant, was accused of sexual discrimination concerning the woman, who was a former employee of the restaurant. The case had been assigned to arbitration under a mandatory statute in Missouri.
2. Assume for this question only that this case is held in federal court in the Eight Circuit. Assume that the manager is a resident of Illinois, the plaintiff is a Missouri resident, and that the restaurant is incorporated in Missouri but has its principal place of business in Illinois. How would a federal district court exercise jurisdiction over this matter? Assume that an out-of-state defendant from Kansas is party to the suit. Evaluate both personal and subject-matter jurisdiction principles, as applied to all potential parties in this federal case. Explain.
