category v t e a jurisdiction is the legal authority of a court government or other entity to make and enforce laws within a defined area 1 2 3 each state in a federation such as australia germany and the united states forms a separate jurisdiction certain laws however may be uniform across the constituent states and enforced by federal courts resulting in a single jurisdiction for those purposes a jurisdiction may also prosecute individuals for crimes committed outside its territory if the perpetrator returns 4 citizens from other jurisdictions can sometimes be extradited to a jurisdiction where the act is illegal even if it occurred elsewhere 5 6 unitary states usually constitute a single jurisdiction notable exceptions include the united kingdom which has three separate legal systems england and wales scotland and northern ireland a china also has separate jurisdictions for hong kong and macao see also edit change of venue ecclesiastical jurisdiction federated state political
