A state case is more likely to be heard by federal courts when it involves a federal question or when there is diversity of citizenship among the parties involved. Here are the two primary scenarios:
1. **Federal Question**: If the case involves issues related to federal laws, constitutional matters, or treaties, it can be heard in federal court. This includes cases where a party claims that a state law is unconstitutional or when interpreting federal statutes.
2. **Diversity Jurisdiction**: If the parties in the case are from different states (diversity of citizenship) and the amount in controversy exceeds a certain threshold (currently $75,000), the case may also be moved to federal court. This is intended to provide a neutral forum and reduce potential bias against an out-of-state party.
Additionally, federal courts may also hear cases that involve certain specific areas, such as bankruptcy or immigration law, regardless of state jurisdiction.
