# Extraterritorial Rule Of Law Translator

## R - Reading

Scope signals:

- long-arm jurisdiction, effects test, minimum contacts, and blocking statute require separate treatment.
- Covers Section 301, minimum contacts, presumption against extraterritoriality, blocking statute, tariff, and Peace of Westphalia.

## I - Interpretation

Extraterritorial-rule-of-law terms sit between domestic law, transnational regulation, international law, trade policy, and sovereignty discourse. The key is to distinguish adjudicative jurisdiction, prescriptive jurisdiction, enforcement jurisdiction, personal jurisdiction, regulatory reach, retaliation, blocking/anti-sanctions measures, and public-international-law principle.

Do not translate these terms as isolated slogans. Map the term to the legal power being asserted or resisted.

## A1 - Past Application

Key extraterritorial-law links:

- long-arm jurisdiction with nonresident defendants and personal jurisdiction.
- minimum contacts and effects test with the threshold for asserting jurisdiction or regulatory reach.
- presumption against extraterritoriality with statutory geographic scope.
- blocking statute with measures resisting foreign extraterritorial application.
- Section 301 and tariff with U.S. trade measures and retaliation.
- Peace of Westphalia with sovereignty and the background principle of state equality.

## A2 - Future Trigger

Invoke this skill for:

- memos, alerts, pleadings, compliance reviews, sanctions/trade documents, or policy papers involving long-arm jurisdiction, extraterritorial application, blocking measures, anti-sanctions, Section 301, tariffs, minimum contacts, effects test, or sovereignty;
- requests to distinguish jurisdiction, extraterritoriality, transnational rule of law, international rule of law, and domestic rule of law.

Do not invoke for routine civil procedure unless the cross-border or extraterritorial issue is material.

## E - Execution

1. Identify the power type: prescriptive/regulatory, adjudicative, enforcement, trade retaliation, blocking/defensive, or sovereignty principle.
2. Identify the actor: court, legislature, regulator, executive agency, foreign state, company, individual, or international body.
3. Identify territorial relation: domestic, foreign, forum state, nonresident defendant, overseas conduct, domestic effects.
4. Choose term: long-arm jurisdiction, minimum contacts, effects test, extraterritorial application, presumption against extraterritoriality, blocking statute, tariff, Section 301.
5. State whether the term is U.S.-specific, comparative, PRC blocking-measure-related, trade-law-related, or public-international-law-related.
6. Output recommended term, power-type note, rejected alternatives, and sovereignty/comity caution.

## B - Boundary

This skill does not decide sanctions exposure, trade-law legality, personal jurisdiction, or whether a foreign judgment is enforceable. It supports terminology, framing, and drafting review. For court procedure words, use `procedure-litigation-term-mapper`.
