Primary authority is a term used in legal research to refer to statements of law that are binding upon the courts, government, and individuals. It may consist of the verbatim text of statutes, regulations, court orders, and court decisions.
Primary authority may be generated by legislatures, courts, and administrative agencies. It is distinguished from secondary authority, such as commentary, that doesn't have a legally binding effect.

Jurisdiction and authority cases begin where?
Trick question? They start with the statutes passed by the legislature giving the courts their authority. There are different types of jurisdiction. Personal jurisdiction address the question of whether the courts in a particular state can require you to appear and participate. Subject-matter jurisdiction addresses the question of whether the court has the authority to hear a particular type of dispute. For example, divorces in most states are handled by a particular court, and the other courts in that state do not have subject-matter jurisdiction to hear that type of case. Authority simply refers to rules established that affect the decision of the court. Courts get their authority from the legislature. Once the courts are established, the superior courts (like the US Supreme Court on issues of interpreting the US Constitution) decide cases, which become authority for the inferior courts. Civil Procedure is a year-long law school course. About 1/3 of that deals with jurisdiction. It is not a simple question.
