Ralph U. Whitten (Creighton University – School of Law) has posted The Constitutional Limitations on State-Court Jurisdiction: A Historical-Interpretative Reexamination of the Full Faith and Credit and Due Process Clauses (Part Two) (Creighton Law Review, Vol. 14, No. 735, 1981) on SSRN. Here is the abstract:

This article discusses the original meaning of the due process clause of the fourteenth amendment in order to decide whether the Supreme Court correctly interpreted the traditional rules of international jurisdiction in the case of Pennoyer v. Neff. This includes a discussion on whether the clause was designed to include "substantive" components.
