Thank you We sneak And here's your shmoop du jour

00:05

brought to you by diversity of citizenship A requirement for

00:08

every united colors of benetton ad university of citizenship cases

00:14

Uh what And hear the roman numerals We typically think

00:20

that turf wars are mostly the stuff of gangs and

00:23

elementary school playgrounds but courts actually face similar issues over

00:26

what's called jurisdiction We'll each court possesses a distinct jurisdiction

00:30

which is why federal courts here cases when issues within

00:33

the case deal with surprise surprise federal issues like tax

00:37

evasion treaties and other federal laws They also deal with

00:40

diversity of citizenship cases Let's see which roman numerals can

00:44

help diversify Our understanding of the situation at hand Our

00:48

diversity of citizenship cases one cases involving american citizens of

00:51

different races Well in this case diversity actually refers to

00:55

win The plaintiff and the defendant reside in different jurisdictional

00:59

locations So we congar ahead andy raise one into do

01:04

diversity of citizenship cases Three involve american citizens from different

01:08

states When a citizen of one state sues a citizen

01:11

of another state the case gets bumped up to the

federal courts Since holding the trial in any one of

01:16

the two states might accidentally sway the outcome So check

01:20

yourself before you wreck yourself Three what about four cases

01:23

involving an american citizen and the citizen of a different

01:27

country while federal courts also hear cases When a u

01:30

s citizen sues a citizen of another country since the

01:33

federal government is responsible for managing relations with other nations

01:37

so that's a score for fouras Well so if diversity

01:40

of citizenship cases include disputes between american citizens from different

01:44

states or american citizens and citizens of a different country

01:47

well that makes me the right answer If there's a

01:49

case between an american citizen and the citizen from another

01:52

planet however well then the case goes all the way

01:55

to the intergalactic tribunal They're pretty hard on americans though 00:01:59.034 --> [endTime] so well May the force be with us
