The February 2015 Bar Exam: Federal Civil Procedure Question Analysis

Sign up for our MBE Small Group One Day Workshop/Seminar in Naples and Miami 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:

Wally, from Connecticut, sues Allen Corporation, incorporated in Delaware with its principal place of business in Massachusetts, for injuries suffered in an accident with Verda, an employee of Allen Corporation. The accident took place in Richmond, Virginia. Wally brings a lawsuit in state court in Worchester County, Massachusetts, where Allen Corporation has a major factory. He believes that Worchester jurors will be unfavorably disposed towards Allen Corporation, which has laid off 350 workers in Worchester over the past year. Allen Corporation prefers to avoid litigating in the Massachusetts state court. Allen Corporation’s best chance for getting the case out of the Massachusetts state court would be to:

A. Remove the case to the federal court in Virginia
B. Move to dismiss for forum non conveniens
C. Move to transfer the case to state court in Virginia
D. Remove the case to the federal court in Massachusetts
