Question 16 • SA FL-2106010-M/J Civics S1 26-27
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.
