what is the role of the Erie Doctrine when applied to a case in Federal Court under the rules of diversity
what are the elements of diversityWhat is the role of the Erie Doctrine when applied to a case in Federal Court under the rules of diversity?
The Eric Doctrine says that a federal court in diversity jurisdiction must apply state substantive law, which basically means that when a federal court hears a diversity case, it must apply state common law when deciding state law issues, NOT FEDERAL laws, in adjudicating the case.
This prevents federal courts from ignoring state law and case precedents and making new law in a state. So, if the law in your state is you get two apples for every orange, and someone from a another states sues you in your state in federal court on this issue, the federal court has to honor your state law and give you two apples for every orange.

Some cases, such as bankruptcy and patent, are heard only in federal courts...?
Some cases, such as bankruptcy and patent, are heard only in federal courts. Do you think that having exclusive jurisdiction by federal courts in these subject matters is a good idea? Why or why not? Some cases are also only heard in state courts. For example, most family law cases are almost always heard in state court and not federal court. Is this a good idea? Why or why not?Some cases, such as bankruptcy and patent, are heard only in federal courts...?
Patents and bankruptcy are in federal courts because the constitution gave Congress the power to regulate these matters and Congress has done so to the exclusion of the States and State Courts. Some federal laws may be litigated in state courts and any federal court can consider state laws assuming they have ';subject matter jurisdiction'; such as cases over a certain amount between people of different states

Jason,
You are in the wrong section of ANSWERS. Here we are supposed to answer questions about Taxes. However, here is my opinion on your comment;
You should never disrespect your Mom, if you do, you will end up a big loser in life. If your Mom tells you not to call, you should respect her wishes and ask for her forgiveness for anything you have done to hurt her.
Good luck!Mom and the federal case?
This is the tax section of the forum.
But that said, it does sound like she's full of it re all the cops and the FBI involved. But I'd still quit calling.under eye concealer

Federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction over all of the following types of cases except cases involving?
A. Foreign government Official
B. A person accused of a federal crime
C.Citizens of different States
D.the infringment of a copy right
Another question that I was wondering about U.S. court hears which cases
1. civil cases
2.criminal cases
3.no cases that generated by the Internal Revenue service
4.All of theseFederal courts have exclusive jurisdiction over all of the following types of cases except cases involving?
C. Citizens of different states. There's concurrent jurisdiction with the states on that type of case.
The second half of your question is indecipherable.Federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction over all of the following types of cases except cases involving?
Federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction over (C), citizens of different states, but only IF a party asserts it. It is important to remember that your state's trial court is the only court of general jurisdiction that can hear any type of case. Suits between citizens of different states can be removed to federal court, but they can be filed and heard in state court also. A right to federal jurisdiction is not the same as mandatory federal jurisdiction.
In answer to the second part of your question, which is understandable to me, is that your state's trial courts can hear all cases you describe. Yes, there is a court devoted only to tax cases, but that court does not have exclusive jurisdiction. Tax cases can by heard by state courts. Criminal tax charges are frequently heard by state courts. Civil and criminal cases go to your state court. Some may be removed to fed'l court because of diversity jurisdiction or federal crimes, but removal is optional. In short, federal courts do not have exclusive jurisdiction in any of the choices you listed in your question. They have concurrent jurisdiction with the state court. The only court of general jurisdiction is your state trial court--called District Court in my state, or Superior Court, or Court of Common Pleas or Supreme Court (in NY) and probably a few other names.
-C- is correct..
Federal courts are courts of limited jurisdiction. Article III, 搂2 of U.S. Constitution lists nine categories of federal jurisdiction. You must fall into one of the categories for federal court to hear the case.

In the case of state v. Ringquist, was this case a function of the federal or state court system?
What was the jurisdiction and what was the original venue of the case?In the case of state v. Ringquist, was this case a function of the federal or state court system?
The case was an appeal by the State of North Dakota from a district court order suppressing evidence obtained during a search of Richard Allen Ringquist's apartment, pursuant to a search warrant issued by the Stark County Court.
The case was heard by the North Dakota Supreme Court, which reversed and remanded the district court order. State v. Ringquist, 433 N.W.2d 207 (N.D. 1988).
The case was decided under the North Dakota constitution, with the state Supreme Court agreeing that the standard enunciated by the US Supreme Court in Illinois vs. Gates (totality of the circumstances) is the appropriate test for issuance of a warrant under the state consitution.

Can someone who has been sentenced in a Federal prision fight his case again?
My boyfriend got sentenced three months ago and his date to come out is until 2015, so I just want to know if there is anything I can do from the outside to shorten his time. The reason: He had weapons at home. and had one on him.Can someone who has been sentenced in a Federal prision fight his case again?
Get an atty and file an appeal.Can someone who has been sentenced in a Federal prision fight his case again?
The only way to have his case heard again is if there is new evidence that was not mentioned in original case, also if he can prove his defense lawyer was incompetent during the trial. The only way to shorten his time in prison is to be a ';Model Prisoner';.
He can still appeal it, he needs a good lawyer.
Has he appealed his sentence or the verdict?
If the appeal period had ended I don't think that it can go back to court unless new evidence is discovered and a new trial could be ordered.
If he has not filed an appeal by now it is too late to do so. He can still file a 2255. Contact an attorney, a different one than he had before.
Hire an attorney and file an appeal.
There isn't anything that you can do but he can shorten his sentence by keeping his nose clean, taking classes, or attending religious services. He can later as for a sentence reduction but will still probably have to serve at least half of his sentence.

In an identity theft case, How much money is stolen before it becomes federal?
I need to find out when Identity theft becomes a US Federal Crime.In an identity theft case, How much money is stolen before it becomes federal?
It already is a federal crime.In an identity theft case, How much money is stolen before it becomes federal?
There is no dollar amount involved to make it federal. Instead, it is the use of federally insured banks, use of interstate electronic systems, use of a social security number, and such
Transferring a stolen pin number or other protection method (passwords, etc) across state lines makes it a federal crime even without any money being taken.

How does a plaintiff decide between a State or Federal court for his/her case?
The differences between State and Federal criminal cases are not obvious. For example, bank robbery is Federal and drunk driving is State. However, if you get pulled over for drunk driving while on Federal property, it would be a Federal case as opposed to a State case.
Many narcotics cases can also be charged either by State or Federal authorities. For example, if the narcotics are bought and sold in the same state, the case is typically charged by the State. However, if narcotics are bought in one state and sold in another state, this is considered a conspiracy to transport and thus charged as a Federal case.
In most cases, the individual who is arrested will know where their case will be prosecuted. If they are arrested by federal authorities and taken to a federal detention center, the likelihood is that the case will be in federal court. If they are arrested by a local police department and taken to a city or county jail, they will most likely be prosecuted by the state.
Cases Usually Prosecuted in the State Courts:
Murder
Rape / Child molestation
Possession of controlled substances / Under the Influence
Domestic violence / Assault %26amp; battery
Robbery / Grand Theft / Shoplifting
Most misdemeanors
Cases Usually Prosecuted in the Federal Courts:
Smuggling controlled substances
Large quantity narcotic conspiracy cases
Bank robbery and bank fraud
Mail fraud / Theft from the mail
Bribery of public officials
Crimes committed on federal land
Crimes committed in one state with flight to anotherHow does a plaintiff decide between a State or Federal court for his/her case?
It's not up to the plaintiff, it's a matter of jurisdiction -- if the matter covers involves the laws of more than one state or has other subject matter jurisdiction, then it would be federal. Generally, if you're suing someone, i.e., you're the plaintiff, then you would be in state and county court.
Many narcotics cases can also be charged either by State or Federal authorities. For example, if the narcotics are bought and sold in the same state, the case is typically charged by the State.

If a case is dismissed and expunged at the state level would it be removed at the federal level?
I case was dismissed (non-conviction) and it was formally dismissed in a county in Ohio. This was 4 years ago, I requested an FBI background check and it's still showing up. Because the case was sealed/expunged wouldn't this be removed from an FBI check?If a case is dismissed and expunged at the state level would it be removed at the federal level?
The FBI records arrests. The state court can order its own records sealed, in sometimes can order the local sheriff or police to seal their own records, but if the FBI learned of the arrest in the ordinary course before the records were sealed, the state court has no authority to order the FBI to remove truthful information from its files or from its collective memory.If a case is dismissed and expunged at the state level would it be removed at the federal level?
Nope, the FBI isn't subject to orders from a state court.under eye concealer

What happens to a home when it is seized by the Federal Government in regards to a criminal Fed. Court Case?
There is a townhome in my neighborhood that was seized by the gov. because the homeowner was convicted of mail fraud. I don't understand why there was a sheriffs sale and a 6 mos. redemption period if it was seized to pay restitution. There wasn't a mortgage on the property, it was paid for. I thought in a Federal Forfeiture there was no redemption period? There is currently close to 100K in leins on the property, would those influence the type of sale on the property?What happens to a home when it is seized by the Federal Government in regards to a criminal Fed.

Internal Revenue Code 搂7426(a)(1) provides:
Section 7426 permits a third party to bring an action challenging the lawfulness of governmental levies made against property in which he claims an interest. Interfirst Bank Dallas, N.A. v. United States [85-2 USTC 露9635 ], 769 F.2d 299, 304 (5th Cir. 1985), cert. denied, -- U.S. --, 106 S. Ct. 1458 (1986); see Crow v. Wyoming Timber Products Co. [70-2 USTC 露9561 ], 424 F.2d 93, 96 (10th Cir. 1970) (dictum).
Congress has specifically waived sovereign immunity for actions under 搂7426 through the enactment of 28 U.S.C. 搂1346(e). Thus to the extent that a party claiming an interest in property is aggrieved by the pendency of an existing lien, sovereign immunity is waived. See Three M Investments, Inc. v. United States [86-1 USTC 露9185 ], 781 F.2d 352, 354 (10th Cir. 1986).
This conclusion does not change merely because the district court exercised ancillary jurisdiction. Ancillary jurisdiction permits the district court to exercise the full range of its civil and criminal jurisdiction.
Federal law governs the priority of a tax lien against other claims to property. United States v. Equitable Life Assurance Society [66-1 USTC 露9444 ], 384 U.S. 323, 328 (1966). Where Congress has not prescribed a different priority rule, see I.R.C. 搂6323 , the basic rule is ';first in time is first in right.'; See United States v. City of New Britain [54-1 USTC 露9191 ], 347 U.S. 81, 85-86, (1954).
Therefore, a tax lien is junior to only those liens that not only attached to the asset, but also became sufficiently choate before the tax lien arose. See id. And choateness of a competing interest is also a matter of federal law. See United States v. Pioneer American Insurance Co. [63-2 USTC 露9532 ], 374 U.S. 84, 88-89 (1963).
What this means for your question is that IF the lien is attached to the seized property, it must be satisfied even before a U.S. IRS Tax lien.

What is a Prima facie case of Retaliation in Civil Lawsuit in either Federal Court or Circuit Court?
Best answer receives the points.What is a Prima facie case of Retaliation in Civil Lawsuit in either Federal Court or Circuit Court?
In defining the elements of a cause of action for a retaliatory hostile work environment, the court borrowed largely from existing hostile work environment jurisprudence, and held that a plaintiff must prove (1) that she suffered intentional discrimination (i.e., harassment) because of her protected activity; (2) the discrimination was severe or pervasive; (3) the discrimination detrimentally affected her; (4) it would have detrimentally affected a reasonable person in similar circumstances; and (5) a basis for employer liability is present.What is a Prima facie case of Retaliation in Civil Lawsuit in either Federal Court or Circuit Court?
Since you haven't described what the case is about, we can't really answer.
Prima facie means ';on the face'; or ';obvious at first examination';. A prima facie case of retaliation would be when you have evidence that clearly suggest that retaliation took place.
To establish a ';prima facie case'; means that you state evidence on each element of the claim. For example, to set out a prima facie case for fraud, you must set forth facts to show 1) a false statement knowingly made 2) reliance on the false statement, and 3) damages.
A prima facie case for ';retaliation'; depends on what law or statute you are relying on for your claim. For example, if the complaint falls under a federal statute protecting ';whistleblowers'; who report corruption in government, then you must state facts for each element specified in that statute.
Generally, you must have a statutory claim for ';retaliation';. That is, there is no 'common law' tort of retaliation, but specific state or federal laws give certain classes of persons a remedy. So, there are statutes protecting tenants from retaliatory eviction, the whisteblower statutes, etc.
Without knowing more facts than what you state here, we cannot tell you if a law even exists that fits the situation. To be able to do that, we need to know where you are and what the action was that caused the retaliation.
In defining the elements of a cause of action for a retaliatory hostile work environment, the court borrowed largely from existing hostile work environment jurisprudence, and held that a plaintiff must prove (1) that she suffered intentional discrimination (i.e., harassment) because of her protected activity; (2) the discrimination was severe or pervasive; (3) the discrimination detrimentally affected her; (4) it would have detrimentally affected a reasonable person in similar circumstances; and (5) a basis for employer liability is present.What is a Prima facie case of Retaliation in Civil Lawsuit in either Federal Court or Circuit Court?
Since you haven't described what the case is about, we can't really answer.
Prima facie means ';on the face'; or ';obvious at first examination';. A prima facie case of retaliation would be when you have evidence that clearly suggest that retaliation took place.
To establish a ';prima facie case'; means that you state evidence on each element of the claim. For example, to set out a prima facie case for fraud, you must set forth facts to show 1) a false statement knowingly made 2) reliance on the false statement, and 3) damages.

Mom is making a federal case?
my mom left me a voice mail over the phone. she said she was sending 3 law enforcement agencies including the feds after me. we have not been getting along for 8 years every once in a while i leave not threatening messages on their answering machine. on new years eve i did the same. on new years morning she left me the 3 law enforcement agencies including the feds message (we live in different states). is she full of ****? if the police were handling it and tapes etc. were being made, why would she leave me a message like that?Mom is making a federal case?

why would you leave messages like that. Even though you dont like her she is still your mother, you came out off her p****y. so respect her and that might be the case she is sick of you leaving disturbing viocemails, or maybe shes saying that to give you a warning.
if she said she was sending them, guess she is sending them.
you can leave or go, you know they are going to be there.
guess you have a problem now, don't you.

Who has jurisdiction to try a case where a misdemeanor crime is committed on federal property in a small town?
For example, a person is charged with larceny for taking money out of a donation jar at a post office, which court will process the case first?Who has jurisdiction to try a case where a misdemeanor crime is committed on federal property in a small town?
To clear up a few small points....the case wouldn't be heard in a civil court at all as it's a criminal matter.
As for the question, it depends.
For a strict book answer, since the crime was committed on federal property, the federal government has jurisdiction thus the case would be heard in the federal courts.
In practicality, most federal facilities have agreements providing for concurrent jurisdiction with local law enforcement agencies. Which means a petty offense that the U.S. Attorney's office wasn't interested in would be turned over to the local authorities to be prosecuted at the state level.Who has jurisdiction to try a case where a misdemeanor crime is committed on federal property in a small town?
Wherever the crime happened is where it would be heard. It will be heard in that town or state and it can be held in a normal civil court which can do the sentencing to a federal.

What is the appeals process on the federal level on a criminal defense case?
If you can't afford a lawyer, get friendly with a jailhouse lawyer, and be prepared to pay whatever he demands.What is the appeals process on the federal level on a criminal defense case?
There are two types of federal level appeals-direct and collateral. A direct appeal would follow from a conviction in federal court. There are also some direct appeals from state court convictions. This occurs when all state court appeals have been exhausted and the defendant appeals directly to the United States Supreme Court on an issue of US Constitutional Law. A direct appeal is more common in capital cases then other types of criminal cases. Collateral appeal occurs when the defendant has exhausted all state appellate rights and post conviction proceedings. Collateral appeal is often refered to as Habeas Corpus and is a civil, not a criminal, matter. A writ of Habeas Corpus is a civil action filed against the warden of the prison in which the defendant is housed. It alleges that the defendant is being held illegally. Habeas petitioners must show cause and prejudice to be heard in federal court. Collateral appeal begins in the federal district court and may proceed to the federal circuit court of appeals and then to the United States Supreme Court. If you are looking at a federal court criminal opinion, if the caption is Crawford v. Washington, that is a direct appeal from a state court. If it is Gideon v. Wainwright, that is a collateral appeal from a state court. If it is Smith v. United States that is a direct appeal from a federal court. There is no right of collateral appeal from a federal criminal court verdict.What is the appeals process on the federal level on a criminal defense case?
An appeal from a trial court (the U.S. District Court) is possible, assuming proper notices are timely filed. That appeal is to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that covers the District Court in which the conviction was obtained.under eye concealer

What kind of lawyer do i need to get to fight a sexual harassment case against a federal facility?
I deal in this field, but answer a couple of questions for me. By sexual harassment, do mean the guys are asking you for a date, or do you mean that someone at your work place is making direct sexual verbal expressions or even touching you in a way that can only be described as sexual. Before I can give you an answer and direct you to the correct type of lawyer, I need your answer to those questions.
I am not asking these questions from a prurient point of view, but merely trying to get to a point where I can advise you. When you say ';laid his hands on you';, do you mean in a way that could be considered ';fondling'; or do you mean that he perhaps touched your arm the way some people that are touchy,touchy do. I am not keen on it myself but some folks have to touch you when they are speaking to you. These are the sort of questions that will be asked of you in a court and a lot more intimate questions will be put to you. So if you can answer those couple of questions, honestly and factually, then I think I can help you.What kind of lawyer do i need to get to fight a sexual harassment case against a federal facility?

Does the U.S. Supreme Court have the power to send cases that come before it to lesser federal judicial courts
Don't you have to work your way up in the court system in order for the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case??
Source: Perry Mason rerunsDoes the U.S. Supreme Court have the power to send cases that come before it to lesser federal judicial courts
If the case was appealed to it from a lower Federal Court it has the power to ';remand'; it back to the lower court for further proceedings.
If a case is improperly brought before it that should have been brought to a lower Federal Court, it would normally dismiss the case for lack of jurisdiction, and *may* issue a statement of the grounds for its ruling that the case should have been brought to the lower court.Does the U.S. Supreme Court have the power to send cases that come before it to lesser federal judicial courts
They can RETURN a case to a lower court and order the court to reconsider their original ruling. They can't send the case to a lower court that has not previously considered the case.
The Supreme Court is the ONLY Federal court established by the Constitution. All other Federal courts are establish by Congress under authority granted by the Constitution. These courts have only the authority granted by Congress and can be eliminated by Congress.
Usually its the other way around. Cases come before it that were tried in lesser courts. The Supreme Court can decide not to take the case, which is saying that they are OK with the lesser courts ruling.
The US Supreme Court can rule that a lesser court must hear the case again.

What is definition of Prima facie case, res ipsa loquitur case, in Civil Lawsuit in Federal or Circuit Court?
Best answer receives the points.What is definition of Prima facie case, res ipsa loquitur case, in Civil Lawsuit in Federal or Circuit Court?
Prima Facie - each tort has a set of element that must be proven. If you can demonstrate each and every element, you have a prima facie case. For example, the tort of battery: you must prove
1. volitional act
2. intent to touch in a harmful or offensive manner
3. actual touching of the body of the plaintiff (or something closely attached thereto)
4. causation
Res Ipsa Loquitur - latin for ';the thing speaks for itself';
Res Ipsa Loquitur is a special kind of circumstantial evidence that allows the jury to make an inference of negligence in the absence of any actual evidence. In order to invoke R.I.L, there must be an accident of the kind that does not normally occur without negligence, the negligence was probably that of the defendent (the instrumentality was exclusively in the control of the defendant), and the plaintiff did not contribute to the accident. R.I.L. is used as a last resort - and it is only evidence of negligence, not proof.What is definition of Prima facie case, res ipsa loquitur case, in Civil Lawsuit in Federal or Circuit Court?
search the phrase on the net
Prima facie case is, such as will prevail contradicted and overcome by other evidence. a case which has proceded upon sufficient proof to that stage where it will support finding if evidence to contrary is disregarded. A prima facie case consists of sufficient evidence in the type of case to get plainiff past a motion for directed verdict in a jury case or motion to dismiss in nonjury case; it is the evidence necessary to require defendent to proceed with their case.
res ipsa loquitor: The thing speaks for itself. Rebuttable presumption or inference that defendant was negligent, which arises upon proof that instrumentality causing injury was in defendent's exclusive contol, and that the accident was one which ordinarily does not happen in absence of negligence.

when it comes to transferring a case to federal level its gonna depend on what kind of drug and how much of it was confiscated. also it will depend on the suspect whether they have a long rap sheet. also if your local D.A. is no good then sometimes the feds will pick up the case.What takes a drug case from a state level to a federal level?
Most drug-related offenses violate both state and federal laws, so it's just a question of who wants to prosecute. The police will usually inform both, and then they can decide.
Well, I suppose that would depend. If you took asprin, you should have read the warning labels, and WOW watch out 4 that xlax stuff, it makes your poop go to soup level!!!!!
Your question is asking two different things. Where I am, as the officer above said, it is usually up to the feds to look at cases pending and see if they want to charge on them. With dual sovereignty someone could be tried under both systems.
Where I am, there is a 50/50 good time if the time is being served for a misdemeanor. A misdemeanor sentence of 12 months means they will serve 6 months on that misdemeanor.
With the abolition of parole in this state, felony time means the person does at least 85% of the sentence on those felony charges.
I don鈥檛 know how federal time is calculated.

What is the federal case law?
The USA has a Federal Case Law --what would it be?What is the federal case law?
Case law is where a decision was made by a court/judge in the past and is then used to determine similar cases in the future. e.g. A taxi driver overchaged a customer on purpose. The customer, knowing that this was too much, paid it because he felt sorry for the driver. A judge decided that this was theft (not fraud, because the customer was not deceived). Any similar cases that came up after that were subsequently found guilty of theft.
There are lots of case law relating to different offences.
Hope this makes sense.What is the federal case law?
Case law is the law as interpreted by judges and stated in their appeals decsions.
Federal case law is the law applied by federal courts - district courts, courts of appeals and the US Supreme Court - in instances where the state law does not apply.
Deciding when the federal courts will apply state or fed law is one of the thorny issues hashed out in a decision.
District Court decisions can be found in the ';Federal Supplent'; reporter (';F. Supp.';); Circuit Court of Appeals cases are in the Federal Reporter (';F.3d'; - Federal Reporter, thrid series); Supreme Court cases are found in the US Supreme Court Reporter (';US';).

In a civil rights case, don't both parties the plaintiff and the defendants have to disclose all the evidence that they have in the case. Can I sue the defendants lawyers for concealing evidence?Can you sue the defendants lawyers in federal court for concealing evidence in a state case?
Not sure exactly what evidence the defense would be required to share..the prosecution is obligated to share any exculpitory evidence they might have, along with evidence they intend to introduce at trial,and a list of witnesses to be called..the defense normally dosent have a obligation to disclose much that they might have (theres a few laws PROHIBITTING it in fact, along with a constitutional right against self incrimination) so unless the defense knowingly suborned purgery ,Thier probably safe. If they knowingly allowed a false evidence or testimony,then you might have something to move on to the court or ethics committee..Part of the defenses job is basicly ,concealing evidence,thats one of the problems with our legal system.Can you sue the defendants lawyers in federal court for concealing evidence in a state case?

How would you prove that you how you know this evidence exists?
You would also have to show that had this evidence been disclosed, the judgement would have been in your favour.
It is difficult to sue lawyers..
There is no rule regarding mandatory disclosure of evidence in all courts. Federal courts have more broad disclosure rules than state courts, but if your lawyer doesn't ask the right questions during discovery, you might get blindsided at trial. It might be your attorney's fault. Also, in some states (California) there's a litigation privilege which prevents subsequent suits based on conduct during a prior trial.

Unless the defendant is the Government, I don't believe they have to disclose anything to you. Discovery is part of your atty's job in the course of the suit. They are under no obligation to hand you information that will hurt their case unless under supoena
Your assumption that there is some general rule that requires voluntary disclosure of everything known to each of the parties is incorrect. There are many rules of discovery but none so broad as you suggest. Suing someone in federal court generally requires a federal cause of action. No federal law governs the disclosure of evidence in a state civil action.
federal laws do not state that evidence can be opened. They do allow some to be conceealed, but it is at the judges discernment if concealed evidence can be requested or not. Filing suit against the defences attorney will not hold.
You have to prove the evidence exists. If the Judge has already made a ruling, then the case is put to rest. Good Luck.
Not sure exactly what evidence the defense would be required to share..the prosecution is obligated to share any exculpitory evidence they might have, along with evidence they intend to introduce at trial,and a list of witnesses to be called..the defense normally dosent have a obligation to disclose much that they might have (theres a few laws PROHIBITTING it in fact, along with a constitutional right against self incrimination) so unless the defense knowingly suborned purgery ,Thier probably safe. If they knowingly allowed a false evidence or testimony,then you might have something to move on to the court or ethics committee..Part of the defenses job is basicly ,concealing evidence,thats one of the problems with our legal system.Can you sue the defendants lawyers in federal court for concealing evidence in a state case?
You first of all have to prove that it exists.
How would you do this?
Then you have to prove that the lawyers have seen it.

Can the state of Kentucky use a federal plea against someone in a state case?
I intered a guilty plea in federal court and served 30 months. Now the state of Kentucky has filed an indictment 3 months after I was released from Federal Prison charging me with the same two offenses, and are trying to extradite me from Maryland. The FBI has all the physical evidence so I presume Kentucky must be using the federal plea againts me. Can they do that in Kentucky without any physical evidence againts me?Can the state of Kentucky use a federal plea against someone in a state case?
Yes. If the plea contains an admission to certain conduct, and that conduct may form the basis for the charges in the state's case, they can use it as a declaration against interest, an exception to the hearsay rule.

I'm doing an analysis on a contracts case. What is considered binding and what is considered persuasive? Are either IL state laws or caselaw binding/persuasive?What case law is considered binding on the federal district court for the Northern District of IL?
Since contracts are normally state law, then IL state laws and IL supreme court is supposed to be binding. Along with US Supreme Court, of course, if it had ruled on IL law.

Was the OJ Simpson trial a federal case?
please answer ASAP cuz i need it for homework!Was the OJ Simpson trial a federal case?
Neither the murder trial in California or the burglary trial in Nevada were Federal Court cases. Was the OJ Simpson trial a federal case?
If you are talking about the Las Vegas trial.
No. It was a District Court case. Judge Jackie Glass is a District Court Judge, not Federal.
District Court in Nevada is the same as Superior Courts in some states. They are county courts
No. While murder is a crime that can be charged in Federal Courts, most murders are tried in local or state courts, not Federal Courts. OF was most definitely not tried in a Federal Court, as a previous answerer has explained. :)
What he did was a federal offense by murdering somebody so I would say yes.
If you are referring to his first trial, it was a capital offense
I pretty sure that's what my History teacher told me.

What is a federal court case?
What exactly is a federal court case and how is it different from other cases? Thank youWhat is a federal court case?
It is a case brought in federal district court. These courts are different from state courts in that they only have limited jurisdiction. They can hear cases in only two circumstances:
1. The case is based on federal law
2. The case is between parties that are from different states and the amount in controversy is over $40,000 (it may be a different amount now..i haven't kept up with it)
State cases can hear pretty much any claim based on state or federal law unless the federal statute give the federal court exclusive jurisdiction.
The difference between the two in terms of practical issues is that federal cases move much faster than state cases. The courts are not nearly as busy either.

Response Time in Federal Court Case ?

Or I didnt see they filing a reply thru the PACER online account. What will happen if they dont intend to reply ?Response Time in Federal Court Case ?
It's 20 days from the day they're served...not from when you filed it. If that time has passed, you are required to move for default and for judgment...it doesn't happen automatically.under eye concealer

Two cases pending in federal court, but I have no faith in this system.What can I do?
I started the cases but not even sure I want to pursue them because of corruption - the docket entry dates get changed whenever it's convenient; Documents are dated days/weeks ahead of being entered; I'm frequently harassed by U.S. Marshalls when I go into the building; documents filed in the case that had been available on the public terminals suddenly become unavailable. I had to view hard copies for a while, then the documents were suddenly moved to some inconvenient, remote location. I find out today, seven weeks after the summons was issued to the marshalls, that it was finally served on the defendants. We're in the same city. This case was filed 90 days ago. I was about to file a motion for default judgment but of course this new development means I can't.Two cases pending in federal court, but I have no faith in this system.What can I do?

the easist way is to look at what statute is at issue. If it's case law that's being interpreted, then it would be a function of the state court system. If the case falls under a statute issued by the executive branch, i.e. EPA, SEC, etc, or the constitution, then it's federal jurisdiction. You can sometimes bring state questions into federal court if it: exceeds a certain amount of $$$ (usually around $75,000), if there is diversity of citizenship amongst the parties, or if it deals with a federal statute.

If it's criminal law, the answer is simple. If among the alleged crimes is the violation of a federal statute it is heard in federal court.
If it's civil, the question is more complicated. If there is a federal law question or diversity jurisdiction it may, but need not be, heard in federal court.
If the case contains neither federal question nor diversity jurisdiction, it must be heard in state court.

Where (in which Court) a case can be tried is determined by the rules governing whether a specific Court, (usually County, State or Federal Court) has the ';Power'; to adjudicate over the case and issue orders.

Jurisdiction is one of the subjects which new students learn in law school, and one of the most difficult to wrap their heads around.
jurisdiction: an overview
One of the most fundamental questions of law is whether a given court has jurisdiction to preside over a given case. A jurisdictional question may be broken down into three components:
whether there is jurisdiction over the person (in personam),
whether there is jurisdiction over the subject matter, or res (in rem),
whether there is ';territorial jurisdiction';
sort of ';subsumed'; under:
whether there is jurisdiction to render the particular judgment sought, which is a kind of either over-view or subset of the above.
(Sorry, but I told you it's wierd)
The term jurisdiction is really synonymous with the word ';power';. Any court possesses jurisdiction over matters only to the extent granted to it by the Constitution, or legislation of the sovereignty on behalf of which it functions. The question of whether a given court has the power to determine a jurisdictional question is itself a jurisdictional question. Such a legal question is referred to as ';jurisdiction to determine jurisdiction.';
';Subject matter jurisdiction'; is the court's authority to decide the issue in controversy such as a contracts issue, or a civil rights issue. State courts have general jurisdiction, meaning that they can hear any controversy except those prohibited by state law (some states, for example, deny subject matter jurisdiction for a case that does not involve state citizens and did not take place in the state) and those allocated to federal courts of exclusive jurisdiction such as bankruptcy issues (see 28 U.S.C. 搂 1334). Federal courts have limited jurisdiction in that they can only hear cases that fall both within the scope defined by the Constitution in Article III Section 2 and Congressional statutes (See 28 U.S.C. 搂1251, 搂1253, 搂1331, 搂1332).
';Territorial jurisdiction'; is the court's power to bind the parties to the action. This law determines the scope of federal and state court power. ';State court territorial jurisdiction'; is determined by the Due Process Clause of the Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment and the federal court territorial jurisdiction is determined by the Due Process Clause of the Constitution's Fifth Amendment.
Other forms of jurisdiction include appellate jurisdiction (the power of one court to correct the errors of another, lower court), concurrent jurisdiction (the notion that two courts might share the power to hear cases of the same type, arising in the same place), and diversity jurisdiction (the power of Federal courts to hear cases in which the parties are from different states). An example showing the interplay of diversity jurisdiction with subject-matter jurisdiction is Grupo Dataflux v. Atlas Global Group, L. P. (02-1689), 541 U.S. 567 (2004)
http://topics.law.cornell.edu/wex/jurisd鈥?/a>
Generally, State Court jurisdiction is conferred by the laws of the states, which also confer jurisdiction in certain matters to County Courts.
Although the details of the complex web of federal jurisdiction that Congress has given the federal courts is beyond the scope of this brief guide, it is important to understand that there are two main sources of the cases coming before the federal courts: ';federal question'; jurisdiction, and ';diversity'; jurisdiction.
In general, federal courts may decide cases that involve the United States government, the United States Constitution or federal laws, or controversies between states or between the United States and foreign governments. A case that raises such a ';federal question'; may be filed in federal court. Examples of such cases might include a claim by an individual for entitlement to money under a federal government program such as Social Security, a claim by the government that someone has violated federal laws, or a challenge to actions taken by a federal agency.
A case also may be filed in federal court based on the ';diversity of citizenship'; of the litigants, such as between citizens of different states, or between United States citizens and those of another country. To ensure fairness to the out-of-state litigant, the Constitution provides that such cases may be heard in a federal court. An important limit to diversity jurisdiction is that only cases involving more than $75,000 in potential damages may be filed in a federal court. Claims below that amount may only be pursued in state court. Moreover, any diversity jurisdiction case regardless of the amount of money involved may be brought in a state court rather What is the difference between a state and federal case?

Supreme Court decisions in cases involving the First Amendment to the federal Constitution generally reflect t
A. if an action is based on a religious belief, it must be allowed
B. only demonstrations that support the beliefs of the majority may be held
C. freedoms of speech and press are absolute

D
A,B, and C contain the words ';must';, ';absolute';, and ';only'; and can basically be thrown out because they could not possibly be enforced as laws--completely impractical to let someone get away with murder because it might be allowed by religion, or allow only demonstrations agreeing with the majority to take place (the Constitution exists to safeguard the rights of the minority, not the majority) and nothing in speech or the press is absolutely allowed (hence the laws against libel and slander).

In a federal case once a lawyer signs on, may he leave as he wishes or must he stay on as your counsel ?
I think once he accepts the case and then wants to leave he has to get the judge's authorization to do that. I don't think an attorney can just leave his client hanging.In a federal case once a lawyer signs on, may he leave as he wishes or must he stay on as your counsel ?
He can leave for what ever the reason. Usually it over money. The lack thereof.

What is the pay i will receive for being a witness in a federal case in iowa and i live in illinois?
This varies from state to state. Ask the attorney who has asked you to testify. Usually you are given mileage, a per diem, or daily rate and sometimes a meal allowance.

A case is dismissed but the federal fingerprints came back pending a conviction on a background check?
if a person is picked up for driving while intoxicated having two minors in the car and the charges are dismissed after all programs were completed (first offense). then why would a federal background check of fingerprints come back as pending a conviction?A case is dismissed but the federal fingerprints came back pending a conviction on a background check?
It would come back that way because the court that sentenced the individual did not send their updated records to the state, so the state could not send the updated case status to the FBI database. None of these database talk to one another automatically. I would contact the court and ask them to send your updated disposition to the state repository and then follow up with the state to make sure they forward that to the FBI.

How do I go about serving a deposition subpoena on a Nevada federal case on a witness in Oregon?
All you need to do is contact another law firm in Oregon and find out who they use for service, call that process server and send them the papers to serve the witness. Make sure that process server is licensed and bonded in Oregon and have them forward to you a return of service to file in the federal case. Some federal courts have their own return of service forms, so you might need to send that to the process server to fill out rather than have him do his own form.How do I go about serving a deposition subpoena on a Nevada federal case on a witness in Oregon?

How do I find information online about a Federal Civil Court Case that has just been filed recently?
There is a particular civil employment discrimination lawsuit that I have been following the motions and decisions made online. It was filed in the CT State Courts in 09/06, and as of October 2, the judge granted the Defendant's motion to remove the case to Federal Court. I need to know the website where I can look up the publicly available information. I was looking under the www.ct.gov judicial website, but now I'm not sure what Federal site to use. Help??How do I find information online about a Federal Civil Court Case that has just been filed recently?
First things first --
Your starting point is:
http://www.ctd.uscourts.gov/
That is the Connecticut District Court (federal) website.
Now, the bad-news is this. Unlike some states, the federal courts all have the information available on-line -- but at a cost. The cost is 8cents per page that you view or download (maximum of 30 pages per document charged).
To get an account, you must register at:
http://pacer.psc.uscourts.gov
It is free to register, but you need a credit card.
Actual court orders are not charged in MOST districts.
Ok, now, lets clear a few things up.
First, a removal to federal court is automatic -- at first. The federal court automatically takes jurisdiction, and then can ';remand'; the case to state court if (a) there is not a federal question; (b) there is no other basis for federal court jurisdiction. Most employment discrimination cases are brought under state and federal laws, so the defendant has a right to have the case resolved in federal court.
What's next? Next are some preliminary pleadings. But to follow along and get an actual copy of all documents filed, you will need to go through their electronic filing system, using the steps set forth above.
The good news is this -- once you get an account, you can look at any federal case anywhere in the country. Of course, they will charge you 8c per page too.
Good luck.How do I find information online about a Federal Civil Court Case that has just been filed recently?

I have to give a deposition in a federal court case w/in the next month or so.. Any advice?
Im really nervous about it-- i know that attorneys are going to be badgering me for like 5 or 6 hours asking me the same question five different ways....I have to give a deposition in a federal court case w/in the next month or so.. Any advice?
Dress professionally. It makes a difference in how your testimony is perceived. Someone who shows up at court in a plaid short-sleeved shirt is less credible than someone in a coat and tie.
Absolute truth, even if it makes you or people you care about look bad.
Answer only the question being asked. Offer nothing else in response to the question. Do not elaborate on your answer. This is important.
Don't try to guess what anyone was thinking or what their intentions or reasoning might have been when they acted or spoke as they did. Stick to facts known to you.
If you do not remember, say so.
If you think you remember but are not certain of some aspect of your answer, say so.
You should be fine.I have to give a deposition in a federal court case w/in the next month or so.. Any advice?
Listen to the question. Carefully. Answer what they are asking, not what you wish they were asking or thought they'd be asking. Don't try to be tricky or sarcastic. Listen to your lawyer.
They already know the answers to all of the questions. Just answer whatever they ask and be over with it.
The best advice I can give is:
1. if you don't know, tell them you don't know!!!
2. Tell the honest and bare truth.
3. If they piss you off, TELL THEM.
4. You CAN refuse to answer a question.
5. Again, if you don't know, just say so.
Tell the truth, and maintain consistency.
Simply tell the truth!
you can bet the FBI knows the answers to the questions, before they ask them..........

Are federal or state detectives banned from cases (i.e. murder or kidnapping) that involve a family member?
For example, physicians have long been discouraged from providing medical care for their own family members. Percival's Medical Ethics, published in 1803, argued for the separation of professional and personal identities in the care of family members. Today, the American Medical Association guidelines from the Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs exhort physicians to refrain from treating themselves or immediate family, though it's not an outright prohibition. Is there a similar stance for law enforcement?
In this case, the victim is immediate family of the detective.
Although, would having a family member as a suspect alter an investigator's chances of working on a case?
If this is sort of work is frowned upon, who along the chain of command would enforce the policy?Are federal or state detectives banned from cases (i.e. murder or kidnapping) that involve a family member?
Normally when a family member of a law enforcement officer is involved, the person is kept from working on the case. So that the law enforcement Officer be they Federal or other would not be working the case.
Since it would be a conflict of interest situation.

There are two usages of ';case management'; in governmental terms.
The first refers to how a prosecuting agency quite literally manages is cases, making sure deadlines and court dates are met on time.
The second is not done by a prosecuting agency, but by a the personnel department or insurance company, about how a particular case will be handled. In your case, it seems to have been about on the job injuries.under eye concealer

Can a federal court retry a case if it never went to trial on the state level?
a drug conspiracy case never went to trial. The accused was being charged with conspiracy to distribute, but pleaded guilty to possession. This was the lesser charge. He was told by his lawyer to plead guilty.He received three 3years probation. Are there other cases like these, and is it legal for federal court to reopen the case?Can a federal court retry a case if it never went to trial on the state level?
Yes and no. You can not be tried for the same charge after the judge has entered a verdict. Even if you plead guilty, the judge has entered the verdict.
However, this does not preclude the federal government (or any other government) from trying you for other criminal charges that may have steamed from the same incident.
As an example, you sold drugs to some one. When you sold the drugs you did not pay federal income tax on the profit from the sale. The federal government could charge you with tax evasion. (Yeah, it's a simplistic example, but you get the point)Can a federal court retry a case if it never went to trial on the state level?
Both David and Halo make good points.
I would, however, think that unless huge amounts of money were involved, the Feds wouldn't bother.
There are things to consider though... Say the County of State charged Mr. X with Possession, and he pled Guilty or Pea Bargained and got Probation. Then I don't think the Feds could charge him with Possession because that is ';Double Jeopardy';. BUT, they could charge, Intent to Distrubute, or the IRS could charge Tax Evasion -- which are both ';separarate'; charges.
Also, having illegal drugs in a vehicle, for example, means that any juristiction can sieze that vehicle, YOU Lose It. If the local County did not sieze the vehicle, the Feds could come back and find the County, or State, in failure to enforce the law, and then proceed to sieze the vehicle. -- this is how so many cars and boats and planes end up on US Government Auctions, or they keep them for Government use.
It all depends on how much was involved. If Mr. X only got 3 years Probation, that's a slap on the wrist, so I wouldn't think the Feds would pursue it, but you never know now with all the crap that is going on Secretly.
Use the same Attorney, and make sure you have all the records that you can get from the Court that slapped him with Probation. It's likely that a Fed Judge would just toss it aside because of expense to the Courts, plus back logs.
Again, unless there was a lot of drugs involved, I can't see the Feds going too far with it.
Yes, there are many different levels of our court system other than the state level. Also it depends where he was distributing the drugs. Sometimes that can be a federal crime.
Even if a case goes to trial and you are acquitted in state court, you can still face federal charges arising out of the same incident.
This is because there is a separate and distinct set of federal laws that are just different enough that you are not being tried for the same thing twice.
For example, it you are acquitted of the murder of someone of another race in state court, you could still be charged in federal court for violation of that person's civil rights if they were killed because of their race.
Hope this helps.

In what kind of case does a federal district court have original jurisdiction?
Both of the above are partially correct, and Brian's is the better of the two.
However, on his list, the question isn't whether the case ';uses'; a federal law, but rather whether the question presented is decided by federal law. That's what lawyers call ';federal question'; jurisdiction.
And what he calls ';cases where the citizens are from two different states...'; - the correct terminology would be cases in which the plaintiff(s) and defendant(s) are from different states or countries. That's what's known as ';diversity'; jurisdiction, valid if the amount in controversey is $75,000.01 or more.
The federal courts, under the section Cyanne2ak cited, also have discretion jurisdiction over state law claims that are part of a federal case, and may retain jurisdiction even if the federal question is dismissed.In what kind of case does a federal district court have original jurisdiction?
1. Maritime Actions.
2. Anything that is a ';Federal Question'; (subject matter jurisdiction).

I can't give you a referral in Virginia or DC but I can steer you to a lawyer search engine. The best thing to do is do some searches on targetlaw (link below). I would do some specific searches such as Virginia Drug Lawyers etc. No what you need to do is a little investigation. Look over a dozen or so websites and find those attorneys that work with Federal Drug cases. Research them by their website and find news clips, referral letters and sometimes they have video on being on TV. Take a few out of the dozen and make your appointments. This is really the only way other than a referral from a friend or family to find a good lawyer.

This is an interesting question. A couple of thoughts: the solicitor general will have something to say about it because an appeals case begins to establish precendent in a way a district court case does not, thus the solicitor general will only want cases appealled where the government has a good chance at prevailing. Secondly, he will balance the need to appeal with other considerations.under eye concealer

Why do most analysts think the federal prop 8 case is ';guaranteed'; to go to the court of appeals?
I thought appealing a case further is supposed to be a ';last resort.';
How can they be so certain that it will go to the court of appeals and the court of appeals will agree to review it?Why do most analysts think the federal prop 8 case is ';guaranteed'; to go to the court of appeals?
I thing guaranteed, unfortunately is a bit of an exaggeration. The outcome at that level would depend on the composition of the Circuit Court of Appeals, and then SCOTUS. It's a hard, long road, in any case.Why do most analysts think the federal prop 8 case is ';guaranteed'; to go to the court of appeals?
Appeals are not a last-resort, then are a next-resort. 8^) If you aren't pleased by a decision, and you have enough money and are angry enough, you can almost always find a way to appeal the decision. In this case, though the ruling is only in effect in California, it's national politics we're talking about, so there is plenty of interest and plenty of money.
The gay marriage question will eventually be solved once and for all by the US Supreme Court, and until then it will continue to be fought. There are many precedents for this. The Supreme Court banned laws against miscegenation (inter-racial marriage), which was just as controversial in its day as gay marriage is today. But once the Court decided, it was settled once and for all. Same with school segregation. Same with 'sodomy laws'.
And even abortion! The Supreme Court decided that with Roe v. Wade in 1973. Republicans have been promising to overturn Roe v. Wade for 30 years now but haven't even really tried because they know it's impossible.
And gay marriage will be like that. It will be a major political issue until then. Maybe not -this- Supreme Court, but sooner than you might think.

Question about the federal case against prop 8........?
They seem to be planning a trial by the end of the year...................
They say after this trial is over, they hope to have their case heard by the U.S. Supreme Court.
My question is: Why would they want this to continue all the way to the U.S. Supreme court as opposed to just ending the dispute in the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals?
If they win at the federal circuit court of appeals...........and the SCOTUS refuses to hear the case...........then that means, They Win!
So why do they want this case to prolong all the way to the Supreme Court?Question about the federal case against prop 8........?
I think they're trying to put an end to this issue once and for all. Many folks believe that denying homosexual couples the right to have civil marriages with each other is unconstitutional, and personally, I think their logic is sound. If SCOTUS rules in their favor, then it will no longer be legal to ban gay marriage in any state, and the precedent set by the case will make it unlikely that anyone will ever be able to overturn the ruling, including SCOTUS itself.
I believe they're doing the right thing. Civil marriage is a government institution. And because we are guaranteed equal rights under the law, it is unconstitutional to prevent homosexuals from having access to that institution and all the rights and benefits that come with that access. Since civil marriage is, from a legal POV, nothing more than a contract between two consenting parties, there is no justification to deny them the opportunity to enter into such an agreement with one another. I think the Supreme Court will come down on the side of gay marriage advocates, so I support their decision to try and bring the case to the Court.Question about the federal case against prop 8........?
to make sure they get there voice all over the place to make sure every one hear's them all the way to the top makes complete sense to me
Ultimately, liberals try to get unpopular laws passed using the courts. Thats why stuffing them with liberal loons is so important to them.

What case established the Federal Supremacy doctrine?
Was it Scott v. Sanford?What case established the Federal Supremacy doctrine?
It was established under Constitutional law, not case law. The Supremacy Clause is contained in Clause 2 of Article VI in the U.S. Constitution. That section reads ';This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.';
Scott v. Sanford, aka the Dred Scott decision was historically significant for validating the constitutionality of slavery in the pre-Civil War era. It really didn't have anything to with federal supremacy. Hope this helps.

Is there a cap on punitive damages for civil rights cases filed in federal court?
There is no cap, but the Supreme Court has suggested that punitive awards exceeding single digit multipliers of compensatory damages may be unconstitutional; for example, punitives of 10 times or more of compensatory damages may be too high. That, however, is not specific to civil rights cases.Is there a cap on punitive damages for civil rights cases filed in federal court?
None. These are set by the jury and can be HUGE.
The problem is whatever these awards are, they typically are apealed and adjusted later.Is there a cap on punitive damages for civil rights cases filed in federal court?
Depends on exactly what you are suing for. If you are suing based on employment discrimination under Title VII of the Civil RIghts Act of 1963 or the Americans with Disabilities Act, then there are caps on punitive damages based on the number of employees the Defendant has.

Why would a federal court retry a case if there was insufficient evidence?
The case was tried at the state level and they got a conviction, but it was never tried by the feds due to lack of evidence. can it be retried again?Why would a federal court retry a case if there was insufficient evidence?
Actually, the answer is NO. The feds cannot retry the case.
What CAN happen is that federal charges can be brought (for example, being found not guilty of murder doesn't mean the feds can't bring charges against the same party for the same crime but with a charge of civil rights violation) or the case can be appealed to the appellate level.Why would a federal court retry a case if there was insufficient evidence?
Sure they can. Different jurisdiction and perhaps under federal procedures there is sufficient evidence. Only one way to find out.

Discrimination in a college. Is it a state or federal case?
State of Tennessee.
If a case for discrimination exists, would that be a federal or state case?Discrimination in a college. Is it a state or federal case?
It can be either. Since discrimination is a Constitutional issue (assuming it is an Equal Protection suit) then it can be heard in either Federal court or state court.
Federal Courts are courts of limited jurisdiction. But just because something ';can'; be heard in federal court, doesn't mean it has to be. If you bring it in state court though, the other party can attempt to have it removed into federal court - assuming they even wanted to. Generally filing fees are more expensive in federal court and they are very strict about how things are done. If you want to go to federal court, make sure you have a good experienced lawyer who understands the rules of the federal court system.
EDIT: Um Ranger.... Diversity of citizenship is only one way to get into federal court. The other is if there is a ';federal question.'; In that case, you don't need to be from different states, nor be suing for an amount exceeding $75k.Discrimination in a college. Is it a state or federal case?
Depends on the nature of the law that prohibits the type of discrimination. If it is a public school and the discrimination is based on race, gender, or national origin, it can be either state or federal.
federal all the way
In general a Federal civil suit has to have two elements:
1. The amount sued for must exceed $75,000.
2. Diversity of citizenship must exist between the Plaintiff and Defendant. If you and the defendant are both located in Tennessee then diversity of citizenship fails. If you live in Arkansas and are suing a Tennessee college then you have diversity of citizenship.
You could file in state court and then petition for removal to Federal court. Why? Let's assume you believe you can't get a fair hearing in state court because of judicial bias. You may have grounds for removal to Federal court.
In depends what the discrimination is based on. There are state and federal civil rights laws that prohibit discrimination based on specified protected classes. But federal law, and individual state laws, don't all protect all the same classes. If the type of discrimination is protected under both federal law and Tennessee law, you would have a choice.

What turns a crime into a federal case?
Either when it violates a federal law or the crime crosses state lines. An example is the murder of Dru Sjodin ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dru_Sjodin ). She was kidnapped in Grand Folks, ND, taken across state lines to Crookston, MN, where she was brutally raped and murdered. Alfonso Rodriguez Jr was found guilty of her rape and murder in federal court, and sentenced to death.What turns a crime into a federal case?

Can an order of protection from CA be used in a federal criminal case?
how can an order of protection be used in federal criminal cases against a client?Can an order of protection from CA be used in a federal criminal case?
Violating an order of protection could also be considered a violation of your civil rights. Civil rights violations are federal.Can an order of protection from CA be used in a federal criminal case?
Hmmm.. good question.
Because the protection order is a civil order made by a Superior Court Judge in CA, based on CA law, then a violation of that order would be handled in a CA Superior Court.
However, if a Federal Court is hearing a case over which it alone has jursdiction and the Superior Court-issued protective order is relevent evidence in that federal case, then the Federal Court will consider the protective order as it would any other relevent evidence.
I hope this helped.
An Order of protection is just that and Order protecting.
Use in a Federal Case would be under a RICO crime Act.
A Federal prosecution, can add the state charges, as a viable way to show the person they have, does not need to be released, asking for a Bail Enhancement, or just plain waiting for trial without bail.
Orders of protection are civil actions. Not really sure why they would try to use this in a federal case, unless it involved kidnapping. It can be used to show the character of the person involved in the case. Chances are the defense would fight the use of it. More info here would help.
If it is relevant to an issue at trial, it can be used. If it is not relevant it cannot be used. Not sure what you are trying to ask, but I hope this helps.

Does anyone know at what point a civil case moves to federal?
If a company sues an individually for unspecified damages in a Florida Circuit court, can I file a suit for specified damages in Federal court or is there a pre-set threshold that I would have to cross? Would I have to file a counterclaim? if so, how would I get past the fact that my attorney did not do this in the beginning?Does anyone know at what point a civil case moves to federal?
In order for there to be federal jurisdiction, there must be subject matter jurisdiction: a federal question; or there must be diversity between the parties and a $75,000.00+ threshold amount claimed (in good faith) as damages. Diversity means no plaintiff can be domiciled in the same state as a defendant.
There also must be personal jurisdiction, which meas the court has authority to bind the party or property with its order. There must be more than ';Minimum contacts'; with the forum; through state long arm statutes, there must be sufficient contacts, i.e. doing business within the forum, owning property within the forum; in order for the person/property to be able to be bound by a court order.
In order to move a case from a state court to a federal court, removal jurisdiction refers to the power of a defendant to move a lawsuit filed in state court to the Federal district court of the original court's district. This is a general exception to the traditional rule giving the plaintiff the authority to make the decision on the proper forum.
Removal is governed by statute, 28 U.S.C. 搂 1441 et seq. With rare exceptions, a case may only be removed if, at the time of removal, the case could be filed in federal court. Thus, removal requires an independent ground for subject matter jurisdiction such as diversity jurisdiction or federal question jurisdiction. If removal is granted, the case will be removed to the federal district court which corresponds geographically to where the state action was initiated. Once removed, the case may be transferred or consolidated in another federal court, in full contravention of the plaintiff's original intent.
