Jurisdiction – (1) The legal authority of a court to hear and decide a case. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when two courts have jurisdiction to hear the same case at the same time. Some issues may be brought in state and federal courts. The plaintiff first decides where to file the lawsuit, but in some cases, the defendant may try to change the court.

A separate court for «fairness» could order someone to do something or stop something (e.g., injunction). In U.S. jurisprudence, federal courts have both legal and just power, but the distinction is still important. For example, a jury trial is generally available in «legal cases,» but not in «fairness» cases.

If this is not possible with respect to a subpoena, the general counsel or attorney for the appropriate agency will attempt to obtain representation from the U.S. Department of Justice for the employee and will amend or withdraw the subpoena. If, due to time constraints, this is not possible before the compliance date specified in the subpoena, the employee must appear at the time and place specified in the subpoena. If the lawyer is unable to appear on behalf of the employee, the employee must provide a copy of the ministry`s regulations in this subsection and inform the court that the employee has been instructed by a lawyer to refrain from testifying and/or presenting requested documents. If the court decides that the application contained in the subpoena must be granted, the employee must respectfully refuse to comply with the request. United States ex rel.

nolo contendere – No competition. Has the same effect as an admission of guilt with respect to the criminal conviction, but the plea cannot be considered an admission of guilt for other purposes. Sometimes an admission of guilt could later be used to show errors in a trial, but the nolo contendere plea requires the plaintiff in the trial to prove that the defendant committed the crime.
