JURISDICTION

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 571 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JUN-KHA
JURISDICTION , in general, the exercise of lawful authority, especially by a
court
  or a judge; and so the extent or limits within which such authority is exercisable. Thus each
court
  has its appropriate jurisdiction; in the High Court of
Justice
  in
England
  administration actions are brought in the chancery division,
salvage
  actions in the admiralty, &c. The jurisdiction of a particular court is often limited by
statute
 , as that of a county court, which is local and is also limited in amount. In inter-
national
  law jurisdiction has a wider meaning, namely, the rights exercisable by a state within the bounds of a given space. This is frequently referred to as the territorial theory of jurisdiction. (See
INTERNATIONAL
  LAW;
INTERNATIONAL
  LAW, PRIVATE.)
