Concurrent jurisdiction
Exclusive federal jurisdiction refers to cases that can only be heard in federal courts, such as those involving federal laws, treaties, or the Constitution. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when both federal and state courts have the authority to hear a particular case, allowing plaintiffs to choose between them. This often applies to cases involving federal questions or diversity of citizenship, where parties are from different states. In such situations, the legal issues can be addressed in either court system, depending on the circumstances.
Exclusive jurisdiction means that court is the only court with jurisdiction. Concurrent jurisdiction means two courts have jurisdiction. For example, federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction to try bankruptcy cases. State courts may not hear them. However, the state and federal court may share concurrent jurisdiction over a civil suit regarding a debt. Pertaining to courts, a court with "exclusive jurisdiction" has power in certain areas or over certain persons (subject matter) to the exclusion of all other courts. Concurrent Jurisdiction: Authority possessed by two or more different courts to hear and decide on the same matter within the same territory. The choice of which court will be used is left up to the plaintiff. Note: Military bases, for example, have their own military police and have exclusive jurisdiction for that particuliar Post/Base, and sometimes to outlying areas surrounding the Base or Post that is in their exclusive jurisdiction. However, certain highways, roads, surrounding the said military Post/Base, can be enforced by local or military police.
