Does a state have general jurisdiction over a defendant who is not a resident of the state?

A state has general jurisdiction over a nonresident defendant for all causes of action if the defendant's activities within the state are " 'extensive or wide-ranging' " or " 'substantial ... continuous and systematic.' " (Cornelison v. Chaney (1976) 16 Cal.3d 143, 147, 127 Cal.Rptr. 352, 545 P.2d 264.) The issue of jurisdiction depends on the particular facts of each case and cannot be decided by applying a mechanical test or a precise formula. (Id. at p. 150, 127 Cal.Rptr. 352, 545 P.2d 264.)
