exclusive federal jurisdiction (Areas of Exclusive Federal Jurisdiction. In the United States, there are two separate and distinct jurisdictions. One is the jurisdiction of the States within their own territorial boundaries and the other is the federal jurisdiction.

Federal jurisdiction, on the other hand, is extremely limited and is exercised only in areas granted to the Federal Government pursuant to the Constitution. – See more at:  uslegal.com Alexander Demidov) |
