Subject matter jurisdiction is the authority of a court to hear the type of case that is brought before it.

It is jurisdiction over the type of claim brought by the plaintiff. For example, a small claims court only has subject matter jurisdiction of claims up to a certain dollar amount. Federal courts have jurisdiction over claims involving federal laws.
