Trump v. Barbara · ¶194

Second, domicile determined which government had plenary jurisdiction over a person to regulate his actions anywhere. The law governing domiciliaries (unlike the law governing temporary visitors) had “effect given to it beyond the limits of [the] territory.” 1 Twiss 223; see also, e.g., In habitants of Hanover v. Turner, 14 Mass. 227, 231 (1817); Wharton Treatise 1872, at 34–44, 519–521. And, as now, a government could exercise personal jurisdiction over domiciliaries while the domiciliaries were abroad and for their conduct abroad. See id., at 519–521 (in personam judgment has “extra-territorial force” when rendered by government where “domiciled”); accord, e.g., id., at 481–482; Goodyear Dunlop Tires Operations, S. A. v. Brown, 564 U. S. 915, 924 (2011).
