Heading: whether enforcement of the forum selection clause is consistent with louisiana public policy.

Text: ¶ 21. Waveland asserts the forum selection clause in the present case should not be enforced because it violates Louisiana public policy in that it conflicts with a Louisiana case, Calahan v. Haspel, 732 So.2d 796 (La.Ct.App.1999). ¶ 22. Whether enforcement of the forum selection clause violates Louisiana's public policy is a question for the courts of Louisiana to decide, not this court. If the district court in Louisiana found that the requisite minimum contacts were present in the facts to support personal jurisdiction over the Mississippi corporation, then its judgment is entitled to full faith and credit in our state. Surely, if the tables were reversed, this state would expect the same deferential treatment by the courts in Louisiana. This issue is without merit.
