- 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.
Where streams separate parishes, the parishes between which ferryboats ply thereon have concurrent jurisdiction over the ferry. Complaints for neglect or infractions of the charter are cognizable by the court of either parish in such cases.
