  • 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.
  • Precedent: A court decision in an earlier case with facts and law similar to a dispute currently before a court. Precedent will ordinarily govern the decision of a later similar case, unless a party can show that it was wrongly decided or that it differed in some significant way.
  • State: means a state of the United States. See Michigan Laws 124.502
     If an interlocal agreement deals in whole or in part with the provision of services or facilities as to which an officer or agency of the state has constitutional or statutory responsibilities and powers of control, the agreement, as a condition precedent to its effectiveness, shall be submitted to the state officer or agency having such responsibilities and powers of control and shall be approved or disapproved by him or it as to all matters under his or its jurisdiction in the same manner and subject to the same requirements governing the action of the governor pursuant to section 10. This requirement of submission and approval is in addition to and not in substitution for the requirement of approval by the attorney general.
