A quick definition of pendent jurisdiction:

Pendent jurisdiction is when a federal court can hear a state-law claim that is related to a federal question claim, even if the state-law claim doesn't meet the requirements for federal subject-matter jurisdiction. This is meant to make things easier for everyone involved in the case. The court can only do this if the state and federal claims are based on the same facts. This used to be called pendent jurisdiction, but now it's called supplemental jurisdiction. Sometimes, the court can choose not to hear the state-law claim if it doesn't want to.

A more thorough explanation:

Pendent jurisdiction is a legal doctrine that allows federal courts to hear state-law claims that are related to federal claims, even if they do not meet the requirements for federal subject-matter jurisdiction. This doctrine was created to make the legal process more efficient and fair for everyone involved.

Let's say that a person is suing their employer for violating their civil rights under federal law. The same person also wants to sue their employer for breach of contract under state law. Even though the breach of contract claim does not meet the requirements for federal subject-matter jurisdiction, the federal court may still hear it under pendent jurisdiction because it is related to the civil rights claim.

Another example could be a case where a person is suing a company for negligence under state law. The same person also wants to sue the company for violating federal antitrust laws. Even though the negligence claim does not meet the requirements for federal subject-matter jurisdiction, the federal court may still hear it under pendent jurisdiction because it is related to the antitrust claim.

These examples illustrate how pendent jurisdiction allows federal courts to hear related state-law claims that are connected to federal claims.

im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
