How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• concluding that federal law applies to the determination of whether a forum-selection clause should be enforced as to claims in federal court
• explaining that when a forum-selection clause uses “in” to geographically limit venue to a particular county, a case can only be brought in federal court if a federal court sits in that county, and that the use of the word “of” is clearly jurisdictional
• finding forum selection clause that required litigation in “Harrison County” as permissive because county contained both a federal and state courthouse, thus allowing for litigation in either court
• “Accordingly, the clause at hand, providing for venue in a specific county, permits venue in either federal or state court, because a federal courthouse is located in that county.”
• applying to determine that “the clause at hand, providing for venue in a specific county, permits venue in either federal or state court, because a federal courthouse is located in that county”
• “[T]he clause at hand, providing for venue in a specific county, permits venue in either federal or state court, because a federal courthouse is located in that county.” (emphasis added)
