    Thanks. This video is a bit old but the idea from Iqbal and Twombly is that SCOTUS has instructed federal courts to focus on whether the pleading is actually sufficient to "show" plausibly that the pleader is entitled to relief. You might want to join me and other students online and suggest a few topics: uslawessentials.clickmeeting.com/uslawessentials-study-group-october-4-2020/register? It is basically an online study group in which we go through a few topics. Last time we did the mailbox rule and some crim law topics.

    federal court w/civil case. Easy to start, tougher to litigate. 1) Subject matter jurisdiction 2) Need of Relief (plausible {likely} - which is more than conceivable - or impossible) 3) Demand

    I intend to bring my circuit Court case to federal court under subject matter jurisdiction for a RICO Violation suit and 1981,2,&3 claims. The circumstances sound implausible, to which, am I at a loss?

    Please speak to a lawyer in your state. I cannot give legal advice.

    @MF, pleadings in the US are usually publicly available. For federal cases you can try searching on pacer.gov. State court cases are available electronically in some states, you'll have to check your particular state (just google it). If the pleadings you want to review are not available electronically you will need to go to the courthouse or wherever the documents are archived.
