State courts have both general and limited jurisdiction. General jurisdiction means that state courts have the authority to hear a wide range of cases, including both criminal and civil matters. Limited jurisdiction means that state courts can only hear specific types of cases, often with restrictions on the amount of money involved or the subject matter of the case. Concurrent jurisdiction means that state courts and federal courts have the authority to hear the same types of cases. Specific jurisdiction refers to a court's authority over a particular defendant or property.
