Federal Court Jurisdiction only hear cases in which the United States is a party, for example cases involving violations of the Constitution or Federal Law, Crimes on Federal Land, and Bankruptcy. Hope this helped

Federal court jurisdiction is restricted to particular kinds of cases recorded in the U.S. Constitution. For the greatest part, federal court jurisdictions only apprehend cases concerning breaches of the Constitution or national law, violations on national land, and insolvency cases. Federal courts also understand claims based on environment law that include parties from several states. While federal courts supervise more sporadic cases than utmost state courts, the cases discovered tend to be of prominent importance and of prominent interest to the journalists and the public.
