When state and federal courts both have authority to hear the same case, they have concurrent jurisdiction.
Each system has both courts of original jurisdiction (trial courts) and courts of appellate jurisdiction. State courts typically hear matters involving state questions; federal courts hear matters involving federal questions. There are some exceptions, however, when a case may be heard in either state or federal court.
