!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is the practical [authority|Authorization] granted to a [legal] body to administer justice within a defined field of [responsibility].  (e.g., Michigan [tax] [law].) 


In [federations] like the [United States], areas of [{$pagename}]s apply to local, [US State], and [United States federal government] levels; e.g. the court has [{$pagename}] to apply [United States federal government] [law].


Colloquially it is used to refer to the geographical area to which such authority applies, e.g. the court has [{$pagename}] over all of the [US State] of Colorado. The [legal] term refers only to the granted [authority|Authorization], not to a geographical area.


[{$pagename}] draws its substance from public international [law], conflict of [laws], constitutional [law], and the powers of the executive and legislative branches of government to allocate resources to best serve the needs of [society].
