    Jurisdiction over a case can be determined in several ways depending on whether it is a civil or criminal matter. In civil cases, jurisdiction is established by filing initiatory pleadings, valid service of summons on the defendant, or the defendant voluntarily appearing. In criminal cases, jurisdiction is established by the location where the crime was committed, lawful arrest of the accused, or the accused voluntarily surrendering. Jurisdiction can also depend on the subject matter of the case and laws conferring jurisdiction to a particular court. Venue relates to the appropriate geographic location for a case to be heard.
