Removal jurisdiction is the power of the defendant to move a lawsuit filed in state court to federal court. This must be done within 30 days of the defendant’s receipt of the summons with initial pleading in a case. Furthermore, the defendant must have a reason to move the case, such as diversity jurisdiction or federal question jurisdiction.
