Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Question restatement: The prompt asks whether the described lawsuit—an employer allegedly refusing to hire an applicant because of the applicant's race in violation of the United States Civil Rights Act—illustrates federal question jurisdiction.
Option 1: True. This statement is correct because claims arising under the United States Civil Rights Act (a federal statute) are typically brought in federal court under federal question jurisdiction. The central issue is a violation of federal law (anti-discrimination protections), which means the claim arises under federal law rather than solely under state law. In other words, the federal question provides the basis for federal jurisdiction when the plaintiff’s claim is created by or arises under federal law, such as the Civil Rights Act.
Option 2: False. This would be incorrect because the scenario involves a breach of a federal statute (the Civil Rights Act), which creates a federal question for purposes of jurisdiction. If the claim sole reliance were on state law or if there were no federal element at all, one might question jurisdiction, but the described claim is squarely a federal-law claim, so federal question jurisdiction is appropriate. The statement as given does not describe a situation lacking federal question jurisdiction; rather, it exemplifies it.
Additional nuance: Even if some aspects of the case could implicate state-law claims (e.g., state anti-discrimination statutes), the presence of a federal statutory claim typically satisfies the federal question basis for jurisdiction, and venues may still include federal courts for the federal claim. The core point is that the Civil Rights Act claim is a federal-law claim, supporting federal question jurisdiction, making the statement true rather than false.
