Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Discretionary jurisdiction is a legal term used to describe a circumstance where a court has the power to decide whether to hear a particular case brought before it. Most courts have no such power, and must entertain any case properly filed, so long as the court has subject matter jurisdiction over the questions of law which must be decided, and in personam jurisdiction over the parties to the case. Typically, the highest court in a state or country will have discretionary jurisdiction. The reason for this is that appellate courts in common law countries have two basic functions error correction and ensuring the orderly development of case law. In the first case, the appellate court simply examines the record and determines whether the lower court applied existing law correctly, and reverses and remands sends the case back for severe errors. That is, the parties may generally agree on the applicable law, but the appellant will contend that the trial court incorrectly interpreted and applied the existing law. In the second case, the appellate court rules on novel issues in a case, and under stare decisis , those rulings become new law in themselves. In those cases, the parties disagree vigorously if any existing legal rule even applies to the facts of the case, or the appellant may be deliberately trying to attack an established rule in the hope that the appellate court will overturn a prior decision and establish a new rule, or the question has been ruled upon by multiple intermediate appellate courts and is so perplexing that all the lower courts disagree with each other.

Courts of general jurisdiction in the United States All federal courts are courts of limited jurisdiction. Many U.S. State s have divided their courts between criminal and civil, with some making further divisions, assigning probate, family law, and juvenile cases, for example, to specialized courts. General jurisdiction and judicial immunity One significant effect of the classification of a court is the liability that a judge from that court might face for stepping beyond the bounds of that court. Judges are able to claim judicial immunity for acts that are not completely beyond their jurisdiction. For example, if a probate judge were to sentence a person to jail, that judge would not have immunity and could be sued because a probate judge has no jurisdiction to effect a criminal sentence. However, a judge in a court of general jurisdiction who happened to be overseeing a probate case would be immune from suit for sending a party to jail, because handing down a criminal sentence is not completely beyond the jurisdiction of such a judge. In the United States, this principle was established by the United States Supreme Court Supreme Court in Stump v. Sparkman , Case citation 435 U.S. 349 1978 .

Ancillary jurisdiction allows a United States federal court to hear certain claims sufficiently related to the original claim that would otherwise defeat the court s jurisdiction. Whereas pendent jurisdiction allows a federal court to hear state claims sufficiently related to an original federal claim, ancillary jurisdiction applies when the parties are in federal court because of Diversity jurisdiction diversity i.e., each defendant is from a state different than each plaintiff and one party wants to bring a claim against another party possibly a third party which would otherwise defeat that diversity. For example, a California resident the plaintiff might sue a New York resident the defendant in federal court based on diversity but the New York resident wants to impleader implead his New York based insurance company, an action which by itself has no diversity and therefore the federal court has no independent subject matter jurisdiction because the Third party Plaintiff defendant in the original action and the insurance company Third party Defendant are from the same state.

In medieval England franchises could also be establsished for jurisdiction over partially or entirely privatized administrative territories such as Hundred county subdivision hundreds and county counties . Broad jurisdictional powers were also granted to many colonial corporations such as the East India Company . In medieval England for many substantive areas of law the king s courts only reviewed whether the franchise courts stayed within their jurisdictional and certain procedural bounds and not the substance of the case. Generally, the only way to remove or undo the remedy of a franchise court case in royal court was to bring one of several varieties of lawsuits for trespass tort against the franchise court.
