What Are the Differences Between State Courts and Federal Courts?

There are two kinds of courts in the United States: state courts and federal courts. State courts are established by a state and federal courts are established by the federal government under the United States Constitution to resolve disputes between citizens of different states and disputes involving the Constitution and laws passed by Congress.

The main difference between state and federal courts deals with jurisdiction. States have broad jurisdiction, meaning cases that individual citizens are likely to be involved with, including traffic violations, contract breaches, and criminal violations of state laws, will be tried within state court. Lawsuits against the United States involving federal laws, violations of federal criminal law, bankruptcy, antitrust, patent, and copyright must be heard in federal court.

Federal courts have jurisdiction to hear the following cases:

  • Cases in which the United States is a party
  • Cases involving violations of the U.S. Constitution or federal laws
  • Cases between citizens of different states (known as diversity jurisdiction) when the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000
  • Bankruptcy, copyright, patent, and maritime law cases
  • Disputes between states

In some cases, both federal and state courts have jurisdiction. In this situation, the parties would choose whether to go to state court or federal court. It is also possible for a Defendant to remove a case to federal court if the right conditions exist.
