Initially, the authors planned this article to be an illustrative analysis of Eleventh Circuit precedent on using the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) as a basis for federal question jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1331 (the Federal Question Statute). As of the date of this article, however, neither the Eleventh Circuit nor any of the District Courts of Florida have expressly held that a dispute arising under the CISG provides the court with subject matter jurisdiction under the Federal Question Statute.
