🎧 EPISODE SUMMARY 🎧

Approach federal jurisdiction by identifying an affirmative original-jurisdiction basis, determining citizenship and claim value when diversity is invoked, testing each additional claim for supplemental jurisdiction, and then applying removal restrictions separately. Federal defenses ordinarily do not establish federal-question jurisdiction. Domicile, corporate citizenship, and member citizenship require different inquiries. Supplemental jurisdiction demands factual connection and compliance with statutory exclusions. Removal adds defendant eligibility, forum citizenship, deadlines, and consent. Finally, distinguish procedural objections subject to a thirty-day deadline from missing subject-matter jurisdiction requiring remand before final judgment.
