Because there is no international organization to determine which state court should assert international adjudicatory jurisdiction over civil litigations, every court has to determine itself whether it should assert international adjudicatory jurisdiction over a civil litigation. In continental states, it is hard to identify the statutes that prescribe international adjudicatory jurisdiction directly, and continental states determine whether their court should assert international adjudicatory jurisdiction over a civil litigation by applying the principles of jurisdictional rules of the internal civil procedure statute. There are two different types of approaches to determine whether a court should assert international adjudicatory jurisdiction over a civil litigation. One type is formalism, which is of the view of certainty and predictability, and the other type is individualism, which is of the view of individual justice. It is the tradition that judges of continental states rely on statutory rules so that it is dangerous to make a decision by applying the methodology of individualism. For the reason mentioned above, it is better for a court of a continental state to adopt a formalist approach to determine whether it should assert international adjudicatory jurisdiction over a civil litigation. But it is also important that the determination as to whether a court should assert international adjudicatory jurisdiction over a civil litigation should accommodate the view of individual justice, and the formalist type should compromise the view of individual justice. It is the suggestion of this article that a court of our state should adopt the formalist type to determine whether it should assert international adjudicatory jurisdiction over a civil litigation but still consider individual justice. Adopting the formalist type means that a court determines whether it should assert international adjudicatory jurisdiction over a civil litigation by analogizing internal jurisdictional rules. Considering individual justice means that a court should reform when analogizing internal jurisdictional rules by American theories of the rule of minimum contacts and the principle of reasonableness and fairness.
