Is there concurrent state and federal jurisdiction for diversity of citizenship cases so long as the minimum amount in controversy is met?
April1028
Yes, the jurisdiction is concurrent, meaning that the case may be filed in either the state or the federal courts. Title 28 of the US Code, Section 1332 defines the requirements for diversity jurisdiction, but it does not require that all cases that meet the definition must be filed in the federal court.
