General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

AND APPEAL OF NEW JERSEY
Syllabus
1. A state statute which provides that, in actions by residents of the state against nonresidents for personal injuries resulting from the operation by the latter of their motor vehicles on the state highway, service of summons may be made on the Secretary of state, as their agent, and which contains no further provision making it reasonably probable that notice of such service will be communicated to the defendants, is lacking in due process of law.

2. Such actions cannot be sustained by serving notice outside of the state not required by the statute. P. 24.
