JURISDICTION – CHAPTER 3
Part One
There are two major court systems in the United States, the Federal court system and the State court system. Each of these systems has jurisdiction to hear different types of lawsuits. Jurisdiction is the power granted to a court to make a decision which binds the parties of the suit.  In order for a court to have jurisdiction to hear a case they must have the power to bind the defendant or property involved in the case to its decision or it must have authority over the subject matter of the case. The state and federal legislatures and their respective Constitutions have set out through Statute the division of jurisdiction and the authority it confers to the courts systems.
