Jurisdiction

Jurisdiction in the United States

The power of a court to act, including its authority to hear and decide cases. Jurisdiction defines the boundaries within which a particular court may exercise judicial power. Judicial power is specifically conveyed through the assignment of jurisdiction. The jurisdiction of federal courts is described by Article III of the Constitution in the case of the Supreme Court, and by acts of Congress in the case of the lower federal courts. In either case, federal jurisdiction may extend only to issues that Article III specifies as lying within the judicial power of the United States. Federal judicial power may extend to cases defined in terms of substance and party as well as to cases in law and equity that stem directly from the federal Constitution, federal statutes, or treaties, or to cases that fall into the admiralty and maritime category. Federal judicial power also extends to cases involving specified parties. Regardless of the substance of the case, federal jurisdiction includes actions (1) where the federal government itself is a party; (2) between two or more states; (3) between a state and a citizen of another state; (4) between citizens of different states; (5) between a state and an alien; (6) between a citizen of a state and an alien; and (7) where foreign ambassadors are involved.

Analysis and Relevance

Jurisdiction conveys authority to courts to act in particular cases, to, in effect, “say the law.” Federal court jurisdiction is defined in provisions of the Constitution and federal statutes. Jurisdiction routes particular kinds of issues or parties to the appropriate judicial forum. While the authority of courts may overlap to some degree, the lines of differentiation are usually quite clear. The independence of federal and state court jurisdictions was designed to maintain the respective sovereignty of the two levels of government. State constitutions and statutes usually define the jurisdiction of state courts. They often do so in terms of the amount of money sued for in civil actions or the maximum punishment allowed in criminal actions. Jurisdiction also refers to the location of parties and the court. A court located in a particular county may be the only court that has jurisdiction in a lawsuit involving two residents of that county, or it may be the only court that has jurisdiction to hear a criminal case when the crime occurred within that county. The concept of location of jurisdiction is technically a question of venue, however, and not one of jurisdiction. If the power of a court is questioned on the basis of location, it is usually because the court lacks the proper venue. If an issue is properly before a court, a judgment may be rendered. A judgment is the final ruling of a court on a matter properly before it. The judgment of a court may also be called its decision or decree. On occasion, judgment also refers to the reasoning underlying a decision, but more typically the rationale of a decision is called the opinion. One such judgment may be to dismiss, which is to dispose of a case with no further consideration of it. The court may also issue a stay, which suspends some action or proceeding until a further event takes place.

Practical Information

Note: Some of this information was last updated in 1982

The authority of a court to hear a particular cause of action (in U.S. law) and to render a binding decision. The laws of our country provide that certain causes of action (lawsuits) must be brought in one court, others in another. It is the lawyer’s problem to determine in which court a client’s case should be brought which court has jurisdiction over it. To hear a case, a court must have jurisdiction in personam (“of the person”) or in rem (“of the matter”).

In Personam Jurisdiction

This means that a court must have jurisdiction over litigants (the person or persons bringing the suit and those defending it; see parties to an action (in U.S. law)). For example, if the litigants live in different cities in the same county, the county court, rather than a city or municipal court, has jurisdiction.

In Rem Jurisdiction

This means that the court must have jurisdiction over the subject matter (see more). See also courts of special jurisdiction (in U.S. law)). Relating to Jurisdiction, read also original jurisdiction (in U.S. law); apellate court (in U.S. law) and american court system (in U.S. law).
