Answer
A
Someone decides to challenge a speeding ticket in court.
B
Students claim that a school dress code violates their First Amendment rights.
C
A man is charged with committing a crime on a hiking trail in a national forest.
D
A plumber sues a client for failing to pay a bill on time.
E
A student gets suspended for not attending school.

Explanation

Federal courts hear cases involving federal laws or rights protected by the U.S. Constitution. The students’ claim that a dress code violates the First Amendment raises a constitutional issue, and a crime committed in a national forest can fall under federal jurisdiction because national forests are federal lands. A speeding ticket, an unpaid bill, and a school attendance suspension are generally handled by state or local courts.
