Jurisdiction is a court's authority to decide a case or issue a decree. Jurisdiction can arise from a geographical area, subject matter or personal jurisdiction over a person.
The first court to hear a case has original jurisdiction. In some cases more than one court may have original jurisdiction depending on the subject matter. We call that concurrent jurisdiction and the litigant has the right to choose the court in which to file.
