Concurrent jurisdiction occurs when both state and federal governments have the authority to legislate and enforce laws on the same subject matter. This often applies in areas such as criminal law, environmental regulation, and civil rights, allowing both levels of government to pursue legal action. In such cases, individuals may face prosecution or regulation under both state and Federal Laws, which can lead to complex legal scenarios. However, federal law generally takes precedence in cases of conflict due to the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution.
