Personal jurisdiction is invoked by the party's appearance before the court, or by the lawful service of process upon the party. The existence of personal jurisdiction depends upon the presence of reasonable notice to the defendant that an action has been brought, and a sufficient connection between the defendant and the forum state as to make it fair to require the defendant to defend in that forum.
