What kind of jurisdiction allows a state and federal court to hear a case?

Answer 1

Just because you went to KFC with Patrick and Ollie, before having an apple juice bath with MR Sanchez before rubbing your penis in MR fearnly's HP brown sauce before doing a two-some with Miss Poole and Sarah.

Answer 2

"There are only two "types of jurisdiction" that allow a federal court

to hear state law claims based on state laws, "federal question

jurisdiction" (Title 28 United States Code Section 1331 Federal

Question) and "diversity jurisdiction" (Title 28 United States Code

Section 1332 Diversity of citizenship; amount in controversy; costs).

Both types are grounded in Article III, Section 2 of the US

Constitution.

Under "federal question" jurisdiction, the federal courts may hear

claims based upon state laws or actions where the allegation is that

such state law or action violates the federal Constitution, federal

laws or federal court decisions that are binding on the states.

Examples are claims that certain state laws or actions prohibit the

free exercise of religion or constitute unreasonable searches and

seizures or impede interstate commerce, among many others.

The second type is "diversity jurisdiction" where a federal court may

hear a state law claim even though it raises no federal question (like

a personal injury claim), provided the litigants are citizens of

different states and the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000,

exclusive of interest and costs. Diversity also applies where the

litigants are citizens of a state and citizens of a foreign country or

of a foreign country itself. The statute sets out the specifics."

Answer 3

There are two types of jurisdiction in the US: personal jurisdiction and subject matter jurisdiction.

When a court has personal jurisdiction, it means the court has the ability to make decisions that govern a person's life. Usually, the court must be in the same state or county in which the parties reside. This ensures that residents of a particular state are not governed by the laws of a different state.

When a court has subject matter jurisdiction, it means the court has the ability to make decisions about the facts and law of the particular case before it. Many different factors determine whether a court has subject matter jurisdiction, and these factors differ depending on whether the court is a federal or state court.

Federal courts can only hear cases that: involve the constitution or other federal law, have the US government or one of its officials as a party; or are between residents of two different states when there is more than $75,000 at stake. State courts must hear every other type of case. However, just because a case could be heard by a federal court does not mean that a state court cannot hear it. There is a large overlap between the cases that state courts can hear and the ones that federal courts can hear. For example, a free speech case can be brought in federal court because it involves a constitutional right, but it could also be brought to many state courts because most state constitutions also guarantee the right to free speech. However, a federal and a state court cannot hear the same case at the same time.

Answer 4

Pendent Jurisdiction A federal court's right to decide a claim based on a nonfederal issue if the nonfederal claim depends on the same set of facts as does the federal claims.
