State Court
Federal Court
Military Court

I would say county civil court. Is this correct?

Yes.

Thank you very much. I have to get this study guide done before tomorrow D:

Yes, you are correct. In this scenario, the appropriate court to file a lawsuit would typically be the County Civil Court. Here's an explanation of why:

When it comes to jurisdiction, there are generally two main types: state court and federal court. State courts have jurisdiction over most cases, including civil disputes that arise under state laws, like contract disputes. On the other hand, federal courts hear cases involving federal laws, constitutional issues, or cases that involve parties from different states where the amount in dispute exceeds a certain threshold.

In this case, Mena's dispute with the company relates to a contract for the purchase of soccer uniforms. Since it is a transaction between two private parties and does not involve federal laws or constitutional issues, it falls within the jurisdiction of state court. Specifically, the County Civil Court is a subset of the state court system that handles civil cases where the amount at stake is below a certain threshold set by the state.

It's worth noting that jurisdictional rules may vary depending on the specific country or state in which you reside. So, it's always a good idea to consult with a legal professional in your jurisdiction to ensure you are pursuing your case in the appropriate court.
