Can a state case be admissible in federal court?

Anonymous

∙ 14y ago

Updated: 11/11/2022

With one exception, a case that raises only state related issues cannot be tried in federal courts, because federal court jurisdiction is limited to cases that raise federal questions. The only time a case that raises only state issues can be filed in federal court is where the case qualifies for federal diversity jurisdiction, i.e. both parties reside in different states and the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000. Federal diversity jurisdiction parameters are fixed by a federal statute.
