In the United States, jurisdiction is separated into two separate types: personal jurisdiction and subject matter jurisdiction. Personal jurisdiction is the authority of a court to enter a judgment against a particular person. Subject matter jurisdiction is the authority of a court to enter judgments on a particular subject. Some courts, such as federal district courts are courts of general jurisdiction and can enter judgments on nearly any area of federal law. Other courts, such as state family courts, are courts of limited jurisdiction and may only enter judgments on certain subjects.
