Concurrent jurisdiction
Exclusive jurisdiction means that court is the only court with jurisdiction. Concurrent jurisdiction means two courts have jurisdiction. For example, federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction to try bankruptcy cases. State courts may not hear them. However, the state and federal court may share concurrent jurisdiction over a civil suit regarding a debt. Pertaining to courts, a court with "exclusive jurisdiction" has power in certain areas or over certain persons (subject matter) to the exclusion of all other courts. Concurrent Jurisdiction: Authority possessed by two or more different courts to hear and decide on the same matter within the same territory. The choice of which court will be used is left up to the plaintiff. Note: Military bases, for example, have their own military police and have exclusive jurisdiction for that particuliar Post/Base, and sometimes to outlying areas surrounding the Base or Post that is in their exclusive jurisdiction. However, certain highways, roads, surrounding the said military Post/Base, can be enforced by local or military police.

Fed courts commonly have jurisdiction for maritime issues, bankruptcy, immigration, among a few other areas.AnswerYou may be referring to federal question jurisdiction. Questions involving the US Constitution, federal laws, or treaties are the exclusive province of the federal court system.
Concurrent jurisdiction allows both state and federal courts to hear cases involving federal laws, diversity of citizenship cases, and cases involving concurrent jurisdiction statutes. It means either court can hear the case.
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.
