1. jurisdictions

   Jurisdiction (from Latin juris 'law' + dictio 'declaration') is the legal term for the legal authority granted to a legal entity to enact justice. In federations like the United States, areas of jurisdiction apply to local, state, and federal levels. Jurisdiction draws its substance from international law, conflict of laws, constitutional law, and the powers of the executive and legislative branches of government to allocate resources to best serve the needs of society.

Examples of jurisdictions in a Sentence

1. Kate Spradley:

   The federal border policy of prevention through deterrence affects local jurisdictions, but then leaves it to these jurisdictions, which are among the poorest in the country, to clean up the mess.

2. Chas Roy-Chowdhury:

   Just because the UK says the DPT is not Corporation Tax, this does not mean that other jurisdictions will accept it as such.

3. Patrick Yoes:

   If Congress abandons its efforts on criminal justice reform, the results for our citizens and our profession will be tragic, states and local jurisdictions will go their own way and make their own reforms—in fact, in some States and jurisdictions, this is already happening.

4. Matthew Vadum:
