The National Hockey League was established in 1917 as the successor to the National Hockey Association (NHA). Founded in 1909, the NHA began play one year later with seven teams in Ontario and Quebec, and was one of the first major leagues in professional ice hockey.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. A court of general jurisdiction is one that has the authority to hear cases of all kinds-criminal, civil, family, probate, and so forth. All federal courts are courts of limited jurisdiction.
Concurrent Jurisdiction. Two or more courts have concurrent jurisdiction over a case if all of the courts have the power to hear it. Most notably, in the United States federal courts and state courts have concurrent jurisdiction to hear many types of actions. Similarly, a state court of general jurisdiction might have concurrent jurisdiction with specialized courts in the same state, such as family courts or small claims courts.
