Jurisdiction means the power of making laws and enforcing them. It is the official power to make legal decisions and judgments.
The power or authority to hear a case is called jurisdiction; the authority to hear a case on appeal is called appellate jurisdiction.
Jurisdiction is critical due to the meaning of the word. Jurisdiction means whether an entity (for example a court, municipal, state, federal, supreme) has the legal power to force or adjudicate an action (legal action) For example, should a court not have jurisdiction it has no power in a legal matter while having power if it has jurisdiction. Jurisdiction means the geographical area in which a particular court has power to adjudicate (make decisions). Very powerful indeed and incredibly important.

Jurisdiction
A change of jurisdiction refers to a shift in the territory in which power can be exercised. The process depends on the state in which the change is to occur.
The distinction is the same as that between a "person" and a "subject." Personal Jurisdiction is related to whether the court in question has the power, or jurisdiction, to adjudicate claims involving this person. Personal Jurisdiction does not contemplate what the claim is for, only who is bringing it or defending it. Subject Matter Jurisdiction is related to whether the court in question has the power, or jurisdiction, to adjudicate claims of this subject. A good example for this would be the Tax Court. It's Subject Matter Jurisdiction only extends to tax issues and nothing else.
