Response to a discussion post: I may choose a federal court over a state court for jurisdiction because federal appeals are usually heard by panels of three judges, while a state court is typically heard by one judge. This allows for more judges to come together with different opinions and come to a conclusion that is in the middle. A federal court is typically faster than a state court. This allows for a conclusion to come to an agreement faster. Federal judges are typically more impartial than state judges. This means that a judge is more fair and unbiased towards the case, which can help the dispute between the two opposing sides.
