Court Jurisdiction Requirements

A court can only gain personal jurisdiction over a party through proper service, waiver, or appearance. Without personal jurisdiction, the court lacks authority to enter judgment, rendering any judgment void and legally ineffective. In Kansas, refer to Ventura v. Holbrook, 643 P.2d 109 (Kan. 1982) for applicable case law.
