Jurisdiction - Jurisdiction

Japanese: 裁判権 - さいばんけん

The power that a country's courts can exercise over a person or case for the purpose of a trial. Depending on the type of case, it is divided into civil jurisdiction, criminal jurisdiction, administrative jurisdiction, non-contentious jurisdiction, etc., but in terms of content, it includes a wide range of powers, such as binding the parties to a trial, summoning and questioning witnesses and experts, and compulsory execution against debtors. In principle, in terms of persons, this applies to everyone in Japan, but it does not extend to those who have extraterritoriality. Furthermore, the Emperor is not subject to criminal jurisdiction. →Private international law→Related topics Trials | Courts

一国の裁判所が裁判のために人または事件に対して行使できる権限。対象となる事件の種類により，民事裁判権・刑事裁判権・行政裁判権・非訟裁判権などに分かれるが，内容的には，当事者を裁判へ拘束すること，証人・鑑定人の呼出・尋問，債務者への強制執行など，広い権限を含む。人的には，日本国内にいるすべての人に及ぶのが原則であるが，治外法権を有する者には及ばない。また，天皇は刑事裁判権に服さない。→国際私法
