federal cases

Federal cases involve legal matters that fall under the jurisdiction of the U.S. federal courts, which interpret and enforce federal laws, statutes, and the U.S. Constitution. These cases typically include issues like disputes between states, cases involving federal laws or agencies, cases involving violations of federal crimes, and cases involving citizens from different states (diversity jurisdiction). Federal courts are separate from state courts and have specific procedures. They operate across the country and address broader legal questions that affect the nation as a whole, ensuring the consistent application of federal law.
