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.

Jurisdiction over cases varies by the type of legal matter and the level of court. Generally, state courts handle most cases, including family law, criminal cases, and contract disputes, while federal courts have jurisdiction over cases involving federal law, disputes between states, and matters involving diverse citizenship exceeding a certain monetary threshold. Specialized courts, such as bankruptcy or tax courts, address specific legal issues. Ultimately, the appropriate court depends on the nature of the case and the laws applicable to it.
In the United States, district courts have original jurisdiction within their respective regions. They are the trial courts of the federal court system and handle cases involving federal law, as well as certain state law cases. Each state has its own trial courts that typically have original jurisdiction over cases arising under state law. The specific court with original jurisdiction can vary based on the type of case and the laws of the state.
