A politically insulated judiciary and expedited trial schedules make the federal system a (generally) fair and (usually) fast method of resolving disputes.

Learning Objectives:
I. Understand when a case can be filed in (or removed to) Federal Court (federal question and diversity jurisdiction)
II. Grasp the basics and background of federal pleading practice:
