Must all 1983 civil rights violation claims be brought in federal court or can they be brought in state superior?

Q:  Assuimg there is no diversity issue in that all parties are in same state, where is jurisdiction relative to which court?


A:  David's Answer:  Such cases may be brought in either state or federal court. You simply need jurisdiction in New York of all defendants. Speak to a Bronx civil rights lawyer for more info.   -- David Bliven, Bronx Civil Rights attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
