• Removal and Remand..what are they? 
  If you are a defendant in a state lawsuit within the first 10 days of notice of the suit the defendant can remove the lawsuit to federal court.  Now the federal court runs the lawsuit, not the state court.
  
  The lawsuit must be such as to give the federal court subject matter jurisdiction to stay in federal court. That is a federal question or diversity, i.e. parties from different states.
  
  The Plaintiff in the lawsuit or the court--within 30 days (and this is very important)-can ask the federal court to remand the case back to state court stating the federal court does not have jurisdiction (power) to hear the case. The court on its own or on motion of the Plaintiff can then remand (send) the lawsuit back to state court from where it came.
