Juris Diction

In courts of law, a power lies, Jurisdiction, before our eyes. To hear and judge, a case so clear, Defined by rules, year after year. (Chorus) Jurisdiction, the legal key, Authority, for you and me. Over subject, over place, A court's domain, a rightful space. Original, first to take the stand, Appellate, reviewing hand. General power, covers wide, Special limits, must abide. From MTCs to the Supreme Court's might, Each court's duty, shining bright. Territorial lines, we must respect, And subject matter, we detect. Jurisdiction, the legal key, Authority, for you and me. Over subject, over place, A court's domain, a rightful space.
