Overview
Steven Davidson, Michael Baratz, and Kieran Hawson authored the United States chapter in the Global Legal Post’s "Commercial Litigation: Law Over Borders Comparative Guide 2026." The chapter discusses how the US court system for commercial claims is divided between state courts of general jurisdiction and federal courts of limited jurisdiction, each with trial, appellate, and highest court levels, allowing cases to proceed in either system depending on jurisdictional requirements and strategic considerations.
