:''For an article concerning the powers of courts and public authority, see jurisdiction''. A jurisdiction is an area with a set of laws under the control of a system of courts or government entity which are different from neighbouring areas.〔For examples of usage of the word jurisdiction in this context, please see: (【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Association of Corporate Counsel ) (【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Illinois Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission ) 〕 Each state in a federation such as Australia, Germany and the United States forms a separate jurisdiction. However, sometimes certain laws in a federal state are uniform across the constituent states and enforced by a set of federal courts; with a result that the federal state forms a single jurisdiction for that purpose. It is also possible for a jurisdiction to prosecute for crimes committed somewhere outside its jurisdiction, once the perpetrator returns〔http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/08/31/AR2009083102291.html〕 In some cases, a citizen of another jurisdiction outside its own can be extradited to where a jurisdiction where the crime is illegal, even if it was not committed in that jurisdiction.〔http://www.deadline.com/2012/01/copyright-infringement-tv-shack-extradition-to-u-s/〕〔http://www.dba-oracle.com/oracle_news/news_web_law_extradited_prison_internet_content.htm〕 Unitary states are usually single jurisdictions, but the United Kingdom is a notable exception; it has three separate jurisdictions due to its three separate legal systems. ==See also== * Political division * State (polity) * Sovereign state * Federated state * State law 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jurisdiction (area)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
