The February 2015 Bar Exam: Federal Civil Procedure Question Analysis

Sign up for our Small Group One Day Workshop/Seminar for Federal Civil Procedure in Miami and in Naples, Florida at www.barprofessors.com.

Bar Professors has discussed Federal Civil Procedure with many students and we have decided to do something new. We are going to post some Federal Civil Procedure questions here, a few times a week, on this blog. Once you have digested the question, please go to our facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/BarProfessors, and find the answer explanation. Here is the next question:

Steven, a Nevada citizen, sues Corporation, incorporated in Delaware with its principle place of business in Nevada, under the Federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). He sues in federal court, Steven claims that Corporation fired him because of his age, replacing him with a younger employee. Steven also asserts a second claim in his complaint, alleging that firing him constituted a breach of his contract of employment. He asserts a third claim in the complaint, alleging that, a year before he was fired, Corporation had misappropriated a design he created. Steven claimed he had invented the design on his own, not in the course of his employment, so that Corporation had no right to exploit the idea without his consent. The federal court has subject matter jurisdiction:

A. Over all of Steven’s claims
B. Over none of these claims, because the parties are both from Nevada
C. Over the ADEA claim only
D. Over the first two claims, but not the third.
