Read a random definition: same-sex harassment

A quick definition of special jurisdiction:

Special jurisdiction refers to a specific area or type of legal authority that a court or judge has. It is limited in scope and only applies to certain cases or situations. For example, a court may have special jurisdiction over cases involving family law or traffic violations. This is different from general jurisdiction, which allows a court to hear a wide range of cases.

A more thorough explanation:

Special jurisdiction refers to a specific area or type of legal authority that a court or other legal body has. It is similar to limited jurisdiction, which means that the court only has the power to hear certain types of cases or cases within a certain geographic area.

For example, a family court may have special jurisdiction over cases involving child custody and support, while a small claims court may have special jurisdiction over cases involving small amounts of money.

Another example of special jurisdiction is a military court, which has the authority to hear cases involving members of the military and violations of military law.

Overall, special jurisdiction allows for more efficient and effective handling of certain types of legal cases by courts or other legal bodies with specific expertise or authority in those areas.
