How to use "Jurisdiction" in context?
Jurisdiction is the authority of a court to hear and decide cases. Jurisdiction is usually restricted to a certain type of case, such as civil or criminal, but there are some rare exceptions. Courts have jurisdiction if the case falls within the scope of the court's power. Jurisdiction is also important because a court with more than one jurisdiction can hear a case more easily than a court with only one jurisdiction.
