Brief in Opposition to Certiorari (11/15/2006)
Description:
Whether West Virginia's venue statute, W. Va. Code Sec. 56-1-1, requires a West Virginia state court to decline to exercise jurisdiction over a case brought by a non-resident plaintiff against a West Virginia resident. Allison Zieve of Public Citizen was co-counsel for the respondent at the cert stage, and the Supreme Court denied cert.

Because Public Citizen does not accept funds from corporations, professional associations or government agencies, we can remain independent and follow the truth wherever it may lead. But that means we depend on the generosity of concerned citizens like you for the resources to fight on behalf of the public interest. If you would like to help us in our fight, click here.
