A. Identify the name of the Maryland state court that has jurisdiction to hear a legal dispute between PI and a customer regarding an in-state transaction. 

• If either party to the dispute wants to appeal a ruling in a lower Maryland court, identify which appellate court would review the case.

B. What would be important for PI to recognize about jurisdiction and how it might affect their internet sales? Why? 

C. Analyze and explain which court most likely would have jurisdiction in a legal dispute between PI and a potential customer in Delaware and why. 

Use the following example as a basis for your analysis and discussion for part C.

Hypothetical Facts:  PI advertised its painting services over the internet to Mid-Atlantic out-of-state customers. PI completed a residential painting job for Stephenson in Delaware; Stephenson paid for the services. A month later, Stephenson claimed the job was unsatisfactory and the paint was pealing off the walls. Stephenson wants to sue PI to recover the cost of the painting job.
