A jurisdiction is an area within which a legal system operates. The concept of jurisdiction is important in public and private international law, as well as in domestic legal systems. Jurisdiction allows a state to exercise its authority over persons and property within its territory. It also allows a court to hear and decide cases that fall within its competence.
