Removal and Remand..what are they?
If you are a defendant in a state lawsuit within the first 10 days of
notice of the suit the defendant can remove the lawsuit to federal court.
Now the federal court runs the lawsuit, not the state court.
The lawsuit must be such as to give the federal court subject matter
jurisdiction to stay in federal court. That is a federal question or
diversity, i.e. parties from different states.
The Plaintiff in the lawsuit or the court--within 30 days (and this is
very important)-can ask the federal court to remand the case back to
state court stating the federal court does not have jurisdiction (power)
to hear the case. The court on its own or on motion of the Plaintiff can
then remand (send) the lawsuit back to state court from where it came.

would like to stop. We are even looking into a suit
against Judges who have unjustly jailed individuals for contempt
of court. These things including our website all cost money. We need your help. Please
send whatever you can. Thank you!
