Concurrent Jurisdiction allows state and federal courts to hear the case.

Step-by-step explanation:

It can also exist in different levels of state courts, familial courts and other government agencies. It can also make some determinations on the outcome of the case by both state and federal courts.

Mostly state courts have general Jurisdiction which it hears the cases if the residents by implementing the corresponding state laws. federal courts most often deal with the cases which may be of national significance. Diversity Jurisdiction exists when the parties of different states fall in a dispute which may involve more than ten thousand US Dollars.
