Question

Mary files a suit in federal court. What would give the court subject matter jurissiction?

I said the claim involves a federal statue

Answer 1

Consider the nature of the alleged offense, and the nature of the residence of the litigants.

Answer 2

A federal statue (like the Statue of Liberty?) or a statute (a law)??

Be sure to be careful about your terms. Another easily mixed up pair is this: ordinance and ordnance.
