Whether you want to be in federal court or state court, you may have grappled with the choice between the two options. There are very key differences between litigating in federal court versus state court. Different procedures, rules of civil procedure apply in each forum, different rules of evidence, different schedules, even the judges may have different backgrounds. This video reviews the different considerations for federal or state courts, and for domestic and international arbitration forums.
