federal court
either level of courts
state court
To solve this, we analyze each case and match it to the appropriate court level:
Federal court:
- A New York man sues a Pennsylvania train company for $80,000 after being injured in a train accident: Involves parties from different states (diversity jurisdiction) and a significant claim, so federal court.
- A foreign minister is charged with accepting bribes while working in the U.S.: Involves federal law (bribery of a foreign official, or federal criminal charges), so federal court.
- A woman sues her university for failing to follow federal laws banning gender discrimination: Involves federal civil rights laws, so federal court.
Either level of courts:
(None of the cases strictly fit "either" uniquely; the above federal cases are clear, and the state case is clear. If forced, maybe no cases here, but focus on the other two.)
State court:
- A man in Tennessee sues his next - door neighbor, claiming the neighbor owes him $3,000 for damaging his fence: Involves a local (state) tort claim between neighbors in the same state, so state court.
Final Categorization:
- Federal court:
- A New York man sues a Pennsylvania train company for $80,000 after being injured in a train accident.
- A foreign minister is charged with accepting bribes while working in the U.S.
- A woman sues her university for failing to follow federal laws banning gender discrimination.
- State court:
- A man in Tennessee sues his next - door neighbor, claiming the neighbor owes him $3,000 for damaging his fence.
- Either level of courts: (No cases fit clearly; if needed, re - evaluate, but based on typical jurisdiction, the above are the main allocations.)
