It really depends, but for crime it is interstate, or if somebody is suing the national government. This is not a complete answer.
The simple answer is, in any of the following conditions:
Typically, appeals of State Court decisions must fall under #3 - that is, there must be some Constitutional issue to be decided. Federal Courts do NOT act as general review of State courts. For instance, murder is usually a State crime, and would be prosecuted in a State Court, with possible appeals of issues in the murder case handled up to the State's Supreme Court. A Federal Court could only get involved if there was a possible violation of a Constitutional Right; in which case, the Federal Court is not ruling on the facts of the murder case (i.e. isn't deciding whether the defendant is guilty of murder), but is ruling on the application of Constitutional Rights in the case. Of course, this may result in the defendant being set free, but that's not the same as declaring the defendant innocent (indeed, it is possible to re-try the case without Double Jeopardy attaching).
US Court of Federal Claims would hear those cases.
There are different categories of death. Therefore cases that involve a death may be heard in criminal or civil court depending on the circumstances. A case where a person died as a result of a car accident in which no one violated the law would be heard in civil court. A case in which someone purposely hit and killed someone with their car would be heard in criminal court.
Under original (trial) jurisdiction (disputes between the states);Under appellate jurisdiction from federal courts;Under appellate jurisdiction from the states if the other avenues of appeal have been exhausted and the case involves a preserved federal question.
Whether or not a case can be heard by the highest court in the land depends upon the merits of the case itself. The court has jurisdiction over lawsuits involving foreign diplomats, matters OS admirality, suits by the federal government against states and vice-versa, suits by a state against an non citizen immigrant or a citizen of a different state, and certain suits between two states (boundary or jurisdictional issues). It may accept a case for review when there is a question as to whether or not a decision made by a lower state or federal court that violates the Constitutional rights of a citizen. The majority of cases reviewed are chosen by the justices themselves usually based upon the Constitutionality of the verdict that was rendered. The Supreme Court is the "final stop" of the judicial process and decisions rendered by the court are permanently binding and cannot be appealed
That depends on the case. Often, the state supreme court is the end of the road for a case, making the decision of the state supreme court final and binding. Sometimes cases involved federal questions (issues arising under the US Constitution or federal law) that allow them to be appealed to the US Supreme Court. If the US Supreme Court hears such a case, it may affirm or overturn the state supreme court decision.
I would bring the case to state court, because if you bring the case to federal court it can't be heard again, but if you bring the case to state court then, if you lose, the case be appealed and heard again, if they chose to hear it, in supreme court then it can't be heard again if you lose again in supreme court.
If you break a federal law (a law that is set by US Statutes and NOT by state statute) your case will be heard in Federal Court.
Concurrent.
The case won't be heard in Federal Court. The initial trial (if it ever gets that far) will be heard in the lowest level court of original jurisdiction - probably a state circuit court.
Cases fall under federal jurisdiction if they involve federal laws, the U.S. Constitution, or parties from different states. A case is considered federal if it is heard in a federal court, such as a U.S. District Court or the Supreme Court.
No. If the suit is over a certain dollar amount, it can be heard in federal court under diversity jurisdiction. If it involves federal law, it can also be heard in federal court under federal question jurisdiction. Unless it is a matter of exclusive federal jurisdiction, the state court maintains concurrent jurisdiction.
no, it would be heard in the county or province in which the case is filed
Concurrent jurisdiction
No
Concurrent jurisdiction
The case must first be heard at the lowest level of court. Most states have a court system that exists in the same area as a federal magistrate court or federal district court. The case must be decided by the lower court and appealed to a higher court. In the federal system this is the circuit court. Once all the lower courts have been exhausted, the lawyers may apply to be heard by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court will determine which cases it will hear.
YES.Not every type of civil case may be heard in federal court. Civil cases that involve no federal question may not be heard in federal court unless the federal diversity of jurisdiction statute applies to permit it. Civil cases such as divorce, probate and family matters are not heard in federal courts.
