Exclusive federal jurisdiction refers to cases that can only be heard in federal courts, such as those involving federal laws, treaties, or the Constitution. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when both federal and state courts have the authority to hear a particular case, allowing plaintiffs to choose between them. This often applies to cases involving federal questions or diversity of citizenship, where parties are from different states. In such situations, the legal issues can be addressed in either court system, depending on the circumstances.
