What proves jurisdiction?

This is a complicated question. There are two court systems in America; the state courts and the federal courts. State courts are courts of general jurisdiction, they can try any case under any law between any parties. Federal courts are courts of limited jurisdiction. The federal courts can only hear cases under "federal question jurisdiction" and "diversity jurisdiction" Federal question is when the case is being tried on a federal law. For example, a person who is suing their employer under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act for disparate treatment discrimination (a federal law) can sue in federal court. Diversity jurisdiction is a little more complicated. To establish diversity jurisdiction, you must be suing a person from another state over a controversy of over $75,000. For example, if a Wisconsin resident is suing a minnesota resident for burning down his $100,000 house, he can sue in federal court. Hope this helps.
