Identificer den korrekte udtalelse om domstole i den almindelige jurisdiktion?
General jurisdiction
En væsentlig virkning af klassificeringen af en domstol er det ansvar, som en dommer fra denne domstol kan blive pålagt, hvis han eller hun overskrider domstolens grænser. Dommere kan påberåbe sig retsimmunitet for handlinger, der ikke ligger helt uden for deres kompetence. Hvis en skifteretsdommer f.eks. dømmer en person til fængselsstraf, vil dommeren ikke have immunitet og kan sagsøges, fordi en skifteretsdommer ikke har kompetence til at afsige en straffedom. En dommer i en almindelig domstol, der tilfældigvis fører tilsyn med en skiftesag, ville imidlertid være immun for at blive sagsøgt for at sende en part i fængsel, fordi det ikke ligger helt uden for en sådan dommers kompetence at afsige en straffedom.
General jurisdiction
One significant effect of the classification of a court is the liability that a judge from that court might face for stepping beyond the bounds of that court. Judges are able to claim judicial immunity for acts that are not completely beyond their jurisdiction. For example, if a probate judge were to sentence a person to jail, that judge would not have immunity and could be sued because a probate judge has no jurisdiction to effect a criminal sentence. However, a judge in a court of general jurisdiction who happened to be overseeing a probate case would be immune from suit for sending a party to jail, because handing down a criminal sentence is not completely beyond the jurisdiction of such a judge.
