Answer: got it wrong so don't pick this one

Explanation:

Clara is suing David because of a property dispute. Clara and David are from different states, so it is not readily clear which state has jurisdiction over this case. Which of the following is true?

Jurisdiction can fall in whichever state has subject matter or personal jurisdiction, likely depending on which state Clara feels will give her a more favorable outcome for her case.

Jurisdiction depends solely on where the property - the focus of the dispute - is located.   Wrong answer

Jurisdiction falls in Clara's state of residence, since she is the plaintiff.

Jurisdiction falls in David's state of residence, since he is the one being summoned to court.

Several courts could potentially have jurisdiction. It is most likely that Clara will forum shop for the jurisdiction that would most likely operate in her favor.
