Getting to federal court — and staying there — requires complete mastery of the jurisdiction doctrines that determine who decides what. Whether to file in state or federal court, whether removal is available, whether to invoke or resist abstention, whether a prior judgment precludes a new claim — these strategic decisions made at the outset of litigation determine the outcome as surely as the merits arguments that follow.
The Constitutional Federal Courts and Jurisdiction Warrior is Volume LIX of Wayne Richard Evangelista's Constitutional Law Series, delivering the complete practitioner's guide to federal jurisdiction.
Wayne Richard Evangelista covers the full federal jurisdiction landscape: the well-pleaded complaint rule from Louisville & Nashville Railroad v. Mottley through Grable & Sons v. Darue Engineering — when embedded federal questions in state law claims support jurisdiction; complete preemption under Avco Corp. v. Aero Lodge and Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. v. Taylor; the removal statute — snap removal, the forum defendant rule, CAFA removal, and the one-year removal limitation; Younger v. Harris abstention for ongoing state criminal, civil, and quasi-criminal proceedings and the Sprint Communications three-category limitation; Railroad Commission v. Pullman abstention for unclear state law; Burford v. Sun Oil abstention for complex state regulatory regimes; Colorado River Water Conservation District v. United States exceptional circumstances parallel proceedings abstention; the Anti-Injunction Act and the Mitchum v. Foster Section 1983 exception that allows federal courts to enjoin state proceedings in civil rights cases; the Erie Railroad v. Tompkins doctrine and Hanna v. Plumer's federal rule supremacy; and claim and issue preclusion from Allen v. McCurry through Taylor v. Sturgell.
For constitutional litigators who fight at every level of the federal judicial system, this is the complete jurisdiction master reference.
