Question 1Foundation

A commercial landlord, a citizen of State A, sued a tenant, a citizen of State B, in federal court, alleging breach of a lease agreement. The tenant's defense is that the lease agreement is invalid because it violates a federal housing regulation. The landlord's complaint does not mention any federal law. Which statement is most accurate regarding federal subject matter jurisdiction?

AThe federal court has federal question jurisdiction because the tenant's defense raises a significant federal issue.

BThe federal court lacks federal question jurisdiction because the federal issue only arises in the defense, not in the well-pleaded complaint.

CThe federal court has federal question jurisdiction because federal housing regulations are involved, making the case inherently federal in nature.

Examiner's Design Intent

Tests whether candidates understand the well-pleaded complaint rule's limitation on federal question jurisdiction when federal issues arise only in defenses

Question 3Foundation

Peter sued David for negligence arising from a car accident. After filing the lawsuit, Peter discovered that David also owes him $5,000 from an unrelated loan agreement that matured before the car accident. Peter wants to add a claim for breach of the loan agreement to his existing lawsuit against David. Can Peter join this additional claim?

ANo, because the loan agreement claim does not arise from the same transaction or occurrence as the negligence claim.

BNo, because claims for negligence and breach of contract are fundamentally different and cannot be litigated in the same action.

CYes, under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 18(a), Peter may join any claims he has against David.

Examiner's Design Intent

Tests fundamental understanding of Rule 18(a) permissive claim joinder versus more restrictive joinder standards, a core distinction in federal civil procedure
