• holding that phone calls and letters alone cannot provide the requisite minimum contacts to satisfy due process
• holding that a defendant did not waive his personal jurisdiction defense by moving to vacate a default judgment
• holding that the contacts between an England-based association and an Ohio plaintiff in a contract ease were “superficial” where, although mail and telephone communications had taken place, the parties had engaged in no prior negotiations and expected no future consequences
• stating that our obligation “to follow the controlling opinions of the Court” “extends to the reasoning of Court decisions, too—not just their holdings”
• distinguishing Calder and making a particularized inquiry of the relations and dealings between the parties to find that an allegedly defamatory article did not establish sufficient minimum contacts
• considering state law tort and contract claims when determining personal jurisdiction to confirm a domestic arbitral award
