Description

The Federal Courthouse Door: A Federal Jurisdiction Guide James Paul George ISBN 9780890892220

The Federal Courthouse Door is a practical, quick-reference guide designed to answer the most common questions involving federal subject-matter jurisdiction. Presented in a clear, bullet-point format, the book identifies key jurisdictional issues and cites the controlling authority—whether statutory, case law, or both—making it especially useful for fast consultation.

Author James Paul George organizes federal jurisdiction into six clearly structured sections that promote efficiency and ease of understanding. These sections address: the constitutional, statutory, and common-law sources of federal jurisdiction; the scope of federal district court jurisdiction, including entry and exit at the trial level; jurisdiction of the circuit courts of appeal, both original and appellate; original and appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court; doctrines of immunity from jurisdiction, including those applicable to the United States, the states under the Eleventh Amendment, and foreign nations under the Constitution and the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act; and doctrines and statutes governing abstention and other limits on the exercise of jurisdiction.

In addition, the book includes focused discussions on writ practice, administrative law appeals, and venue. Frequent cross-references to leading federal practice treatises further enhance its value as a reliable and efficient research tool for students, clerks, and practicing attorneys alike.
