Because the federal government is a government of limited powers, the jurisdiction of federal court is limited. Provide two bases (reasons) for a federal court to have jurisdiction over a case, and give an example of each.
What would happen if a case were filed in a court that did not have a jurisdiction over it?
Define “long-arm jurisdiction” and provide an example.
List the four elements of negligence.
What is contributory negligence and how is it different from comparative negligence?

I can help with one through four. Question five is pretty complicated and I don't feel confident of my answer.
1. First, the case involves a "federal question," such as one that arises under the Constitution. Example: Can the law restrict interracial marriage (Loving v. Virginia). Second, the parties involved in the case are from different states. Example: I live in Wisconsin and I want to sue someone in Georgia.
2. The court would kick it out. A court cannot hear a case over which it does not have jurisdiction.
3. When a law (called a long-arm statute) provides for jurisdiction over a nonresident defendant who has had contacts with the state. I live in Florida but I'm a traveling salesperson who travels to Illinois, where I do something that gives my Illinois-based customer a reason to sue me.
4. Duty, Breach, Causation, Damages

I can answer the last question. In civil cases, contributory negligence bars a plaintiff from recovery. Comparative negligence may not bar recovery. There is pure and modified comparative negligence.
Consider this: two vehicles collide at an intersection. One fails to stop, completely at a stop sign, the other vehicle is speeding. The driver who failed to stop has the primary negligence. The speeder has contributory negligence in that the first driver thought he had time to get through the intersection.
Because of contributory negligence, the speeder cannot make a claim against the stop sign violator.
In modified comparative negligence, the speeder can make a claim if his negligence is less than 50%, then he only gets a claim based on the percent of negligence of the other driver.
In pure comparative, the speeder gets a claim based on the other driver's percentage of liability. If the stop sign violator were 10% liable, the speeder would get 10% of his claim.

contained in the Quran it says that even undesirable such issues as disasters and ailments happen God has a significantly better plan, and in the time of doubtless undesirable activities He can convey tremendous good. God has a plan for each little thing, and we can't in any respect recognize His plan. Islam heavily embraces technology and medicines. And by skill of no skill are ill human beings "cursed by skill of God" if reality learn, No faith instantly addresses why there are ailments/deformities. Bismi Allahi Arramani Arraheem!
