vs.
What’s the
difference??
Jurisdiction is one way
state and federal courts
are different.
It means the kinds of
cases that a court can
hear.
State and federal courts
each have their own
JURISDICTION. That
means that they hear
different kinds of cases.
Let’s take a minute to
figure out what kinds of
cases are heard by
which courts…
State Courts
Federal Courts
-Cases about a state law or rule
-Cases about a national or federal law
-Cases about the state
constitution
-Cases about the U.S. Constitution
-Disagreements between citizens
of the state
-Cases about family issues
-Cases that involve citizens from two
different states
Ahh… I see!
State and federal
courts hear different
types of cases!
I wonder who would hear my
case about a problem I’m
having over money with my
pen pal from another state?
Would it be state or federal?
Federal
I wonder who would hear my
case about an argument
between me and my mom?
Would it be state or federal?
State
In the U.S., several
different courts may
hear the same case.
But they have to
hear the case in the
right order!
This looks slightly
different on the
state or federal
level… and slightly
different from state
to state!
