Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

Emily, a resident of State Omega, initiates a lawsuit in federal court located in State Sigma against GlobalTech Inc., which is incorporated in State Theta and maintains its principal place of business in State Lambda. The dispute involves $150,000. Does the federal court in State Sigma have diversity jurisdiction over this case?

  • Yes, because the parties are citizens of different states and the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000.

  • Yes, because the case was filed in federal court where federal courts have broad jurisdiction.

  • No, because the federal court is in State Sigma, which is not the state of incorporation or principal place of business of the corporation.

  • No, because GlobalTech Inc. is considered a citizen of multiple states, which prevents diversity jurisdiction.
