More details to this question:
Also: if a case loses in state court, can it still be heard in federal court? If a cases loses in one state court, can it be refiled in a separate state court? (or does Full Faith and Credit prevent that?) When I say lose, I'm referring to a final judgment on the merits of the case, not jurisdiction
1 ANSWER
No. No. No.
A final judgment on the merits of the case by a court of competent jurisdiction is conclusive, and cannot be relitigated.
