Personal jurisdiction. Personal jurisdiction is a court's jurisdiction over the parties to a lawsuit, as opposed to subject-matter jurisdiction, which is jurisdiction over the law and facts involved in the suit.
General and Special Jurisdiction Courts. Although each state is different, most states have special jurisdiction courts, or courts that only handle one type of case. For criminal cases, there may be special courts that only hear traffic cases, or cases with youthful offenders. For civil cases, there may be special housing courts, which hear landlord-tenant cases, or family courts, which hear divorce or custody cases, amongst others.
