Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

A plaintiff brings a case in federal court alleging a claim under federal securities law and includes an additional state law fraud claim based on the same series of transactions. Can the federal court adjudicate both claims, and why?

  • Yes, the federal court may adjudicate both claims because supplemental jurisdiction allows federal courts to hear state law claims connected to a federal claim.

  • No, the federal court cannot hear state law claims because they must be filed in state court.

  • Yes, the federal court may decide both claims because including them in the same case inherently confers jurisdiction over both.

  • No, the federal court cannot adjudicate the state law claim because state law claims require an independent basis for jurisdiction.
