Personal jurisdiction requires litigants to have some form of sufficient "minimum contacts" with the state where the case is filed. This means that the defendant must have enough connection or involvement with the state, such as doing business or committing a harmful act within the state, to justify the state's authority to hear the case against them. Res judicata is a legal doctrine that bars the same case from being litigated again after a final judgment has been made, voir dire is the process of questioning potential jurors, writ of certiorari is a request for review by a higher court, and sua sponte is a Latin term meaning "on its own accord" and refers to a court taking action without being prompted by either party.
