Alex Wilson Albright, In Personam Jurisdiction: A Confused and Inappropriate Substitute for Forum Non Conveniens, 71 Texas L. Rev. 351 (1992).
 

Abstract:
Professor Albright reviews the doctrine of forum non conveniens and its demise in Texas. Analyzing the current constitutional law of in personam jurisdiction, especially the confusion over general and specific jurisdiction, the author demonstrates a trend toward elevating the forum non conveniens balancing of competing factors to constitutional dimensions, concluding that recent Texas Supreme Court opinions have badly distorted the personal jurisdiction doctrine. The author argues that due process should not turn on fine-tuned analyses of competing interests in a particular forum.
