Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Discretionary jurisdiction is a legal term used to describe a circumstance where a court has the power to decide whether to hear a particular case brought before it. Most courts have no such power, and must entertain any case properly filed, so long as the court has subject matter jurisdiction over the questions of law which must be decided, and in personam jurisdiction over the parties to the case. Typically, the highest court in a state or country will have discretionary jurisdiction. The reason for this is that appellate courts in common law countries have two basic functions error correction and ensuring the orderly development of case law. In the first case, the appellate court simply examines the record and determines whether the lower court applied existing law correctly, and reverses and remands sends the case back for severe errors. That is, the parties may generally agree on the applicable law, but the appellant will contend that the trial court incorrectly interpreted and applied the existing law. In the second case, the appellate court rules on novel issues in a case, and under stare decisis , those rulings become new law in themselves. In those cases, the parties disagree vigorously if any existing legal rule even applies to the facts of the case, or the appellant may be deliberately trying to attack an established rule in the hope that the appellate court will overturn a prior decision and establish a new rule, or the question has been ruled upon by multiple intermediate appellate courts and is so perplexing that all the lower courts disagree with each other.

Concurrent jurisdiction exists where two or more court s from different systems simultaneously have jurisdiction over a specific case. This situation leads to forum shopping , as parties will try to have their lawsuit civil or criminal law criminal case heard in the court that they perceive will be most favorable to them. United States In the United States , concurrent jurisdiction exists to the extent that the United States Constitution permits United States federal court federal courts to hear actions that can also be heard by State court United States state courts . For example, where a party from Alabama sues a party from Florida for a breach of contract , the Alabama party can sue in either the federal court located in Florida under its diversity jurisdiction or in the state court located in Florida under its personal jurisdiction over the defendant . Concurrent jurisdiction may also be created where the United States Congress , in creating a cause of action, permits the courts of the states to hear cases alleging that cause of action. For example, a state court may hear a claim for trademark infringement under the Lanham Act . Concurrent jurisdiction in the United States can also exist between different levels of state courts, and between courts and other government agencies with judicial powers.
