General and Limited - Subject Matter Jurisdiction

The video tutorial explains subject matter jurisdiction, which is the authority of a court to hear specific types of cases. Courts of general jurisdiction can hear a wide range of cases, including those involving state or federal laws. In contrast, courts of limited jurisdiction are restricted in the types of cases they can hear, often based on the case's characteristics or the amount of money involved. An example is given of an intermediate trial court that cannot handle cases involving extremely large sums of money.
