A quick definition of Territorial jurisdiction:

Term: Territorial jurisdiction

Definition: Territorial jurisdiction is the power of a court to make decisions that are binding on the parties involved in a legal case. This means that the court has the authority to hear and decide cases that arise within its geographical boundaries. The rules for determining territorial jurisdiction vary depending on whether the case is being heard in a state or federal court. State court territorial jurisdiction is determined by the Due Process Clause of the Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment, while federal court territorial jurisdiction is determined by the Due Process Clause of the Constitution's Fifth Amendment. The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure also provide guidance on how territorial jurisdiction should be determined in federal court. Some important court cases that have addressed questions of territorial jurisdiction include Ahrens v. Clark, EEOC v. Arabian American Oil Co., and Rasul v. Bush.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Territorial jurisdiction refers to the power of a court to make decisions that are legally binding on the parties involved in a case. This power is determined by the Constitution's Due Process Clause and the laws of the state or federal government.

For example, if a person is involved in a car accident in California, the court in California has territorial jurisdiction over the case. This means that the court has the power to make decisions that affect the parties involved in the case, such as determining who is at fault and awarding damages.

Another example is if a person is accused of a federal crime, the federal court has territorial jurisdiction over the case. This means that the court has the power to make decisions that affect the parties involved in the case, such as determining guilt or innocence and imposing a sentence.

Overall, territorial jurisdiction is an important concept in the legal system because it determines which court has the power to make decisions in a particular case.
