This statement is correct because Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 18(a) allows a plaintiff to join as many claims as they have against an opposing party, regardless of whether those claims are related by legal or factual circumstances. However, other procedural requirements such as subject-matter jurisdiction and venue must still be met. Misunderstanding this rule may lead test takers to assume that claims must arise out of the same transaction or occurrence, which is false under Rule 18(a).
