Jurisdiction is a very basic and important element of law. It is the authority given by law to a court of a particular geographical area to hear certain cases and exercise that authority over individuals and entities that are parties to the case. Jurisdiction must be presumed or proven prior to a criminal and civil case being filed. The truth is that jurisdiction is hardly ever satisfied in criminal, family, and traffic cases. The court typically attempts to coerce and threaten individuals to appear in the court to answer questions that help satisfy the jurisdiction requirements. This book is intended to help you gain a much better overstanding of what jurisdiction is and how you can effectively challenge it and win your case.
