What is the impact of the federal courts on the role of the courts in dealing with civil matters?

"New York", United States of America

The following excerpt is from Stein v. Metropolitan Transp. Authority, 110 Misc.2d 1027, 443 N.Y.S.2d 340 (N.Y. Sup. Ct. 1981):

"There is one recurrent theme: the court as a policy matter, even apart from principles of subject matter jurisdiction, will abstain from venturing into areas if it is ill-equipped to undertake the responsibility and other branches of government are far more suited to the task." (Jones v. Beame, 45 N.Y.2d 402, 408-409, 408 N.Y.S.2d 449, 380 N.E.2d 277).
