00:00 Introduction to Removal
The video introduces removal as the fourth way a federal court can obtain subject matter jurisdiction, alongside federal question, diversity, and supplemental jurisdiction.

01:12 What Is Removal?
Removal allows a defendant to transfer a case from state court to federal court if the case could have originally been filed in federal court.

01:54 Federal Question Example
A plaintiff sues in state court on a copyright claim, and the defendant can remove the case to federal court because it arises under federal law.

03:55 Diversity Jurisdiction Example
If a state court case involves diverse parties and more than $75,000 at stake, the defendant may remove it—provided additional rules are met.

06:05 Defendant’s Right to Remove
A defendant can remove a case from state to federal court when diversity jurisdiction exists, and the case was not filed in the defendant’s home state.

07:06 The Home-State Defendant Rule
A defendant cannot remove a case based on diversity if it was filed in their own state court—even if diversity and amount in controversy are met.

08:42 Why Home-State Removal Is Blocked
The logic behind the rule is explained: defendants don't need to escape their own state's courts, which are presumed to be neutral or favorable.

09:14 Final Takeaways
The video wraps up by reinforcing the simple plug-and-play nature of removal: if federal question or diversity jurisdiction exists, the defendant may remove—unless the home-state rule applies in diversity cases.
