Terms Used In Alabama Code 15-15-2
- Jurisdiction: (1) The legal authority of a court to hear and decide a case. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when two courts have simultaneous responsibility for the same case. (2) The geographic area over which the court has authority to decide cases.
- Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.
In pleading a judgment or other judicial proceeding or determination of any court or officer, such judgment, proceeding or determination may be alleged to have been duly made or rendered without stating the facts conferring jurisdiction; but the facts necessary to show jurisdiction must be proved on the trial.
