Diversity jurisdiction is a basis for federal courts to exercise jurisdiction if the parties to a civil cause of action are residents of different states and the amount in controversy is large enough to make use of federal resources practical.

In international law, the general principle is that the jurisdiction of an international tribunal in contentious matters is based on the consent of the parties to the dispute. Therefore, it is essential that they express their consent to the jurisdiction of the tribunal in order for it to be able to settle the difference that has arisen between them.
No. A federal court would have no jurisdiction over disputes between individuals that would be considered "small claims." If the dispute were between residents of the same state over a debt, for example, there would be no federal question, therefore no federal jurisdiction. If the dispute were between residents of different states, the federal courts would have diversity of citizenship jurisdiction only if the amount in controversy exceeded $75,000.

You have not mentioned which court and the type of dispute involved. However Court cannot try any case without the Jurisdiction. Jurisdiction depends on the type of statutes exists in that particular state. Suppose if a person committed crime in California, he cannot tried before the Florida court as the Florida has no jurisdiction. Usually in the crime matters courts will have the jurisdiction when the crime takes place in their jurisdiction/ area. In civil matters courts may have the jurisdiction depending on the type of issues involved. If there is the violation of federal statutes, federal courts will have the jurisdiction to try the case.
