State courts have jurisdiction for everthing in the United States of America in which the federal courts do not have exclusive jurisdiction, such as bankruptcy, copyright and federal tax actions or which the state legislatures have not limited the state's court from having. In the United States of America, as a general rule, we have two diffierent kinds of basic jurisdiction: federal or state or both.* Of course, knowing what kind of jurisdiction is the prevailing jurisdiction is critical. Large numbers of lawsuits, televesion dramas ( 'we're the XXX; it's our jurisdiction now') relatively bad movies and a lot of reality is based on finding the right jurisdiction, or territory (not just geographical) but rather who's in charge sort of territory. *One does not see it discussed a bunch, because of practical considerations. Example: EVENTmight occure; it 'violates' two diffierent laws in two diffierent jurisdictions. One jurisdiction just might not bother with the matter depending on the outcome in another jurisdiction. In a rough sort of way 'LAW' , that is a search of Man for order, reason, justice and mainly finality so we can all get on with our lives and matters, is satisfied when EVENTS are tended to, but not necessarly in our own backyards.
