Q. Reviewing traditional and online dispute resolution Stan garner resides in Illinois and promotes boxing matches for Super Sports, Inc. and Illinois Corporation. Garner created the promotional concept of the "Ages" fights- a series of three boxing matches pitting an older fighter (George Foreman) against a younger fighter, such as John Ruiz or Riddick Bowe.
The concept comprised titles for each of the 3 fights ("Challenge of the Ages," "Battle of the Ages," and "Fight of the Ages"), as well as promotional epithets to characterize the 2 fighters ("the foreman factor"). Garner contacted George Foreman and his manager, who bother reside in Texas, to sell the idea and they arranged a meeting at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada.

At some point in the negotiations, Foreman's manager signed a nondisclosure agreement prohibiting him from disclosing Garner's promotional concepts unless they signed a contract. Nevertheless, after negotiations between Garner and Foreman fell through, Foreman used Garner's "Battle of the Ages" concept to promote a subsequent fight. Garner filed a lawsuit against Foreman and his manager in a federal district court located in Illinois, alleging breach of contract.

1. On illustrate what basis might the federal district court in Illinois exercise jurisdiction in this case?

2. Suppose that Garner had filed his action in an Illinois state court. Could an Illinois state court exercise personal jurisdiction over Foreman or his manager? Explain why or explain why not?
