On Nov. 7, 2002, I filed a lawsuit or Complaint against the leaders of Jehovah's Witnesses' organization in NY
I wonder why the complaint was filed in TN but not filed in a Federal District Court instead ("diversity"), i guess plaintiff considered having a better opportunity at the local TN court and still be able to ask for "removal" to a Federal court if...
Federal courts also have jurisdiction of state law claims, under the doctrines of "pendent and ancillary jurisdiction ".
