For more information, visit: Specific jurisdiction refers to the power a certain court may have to hear a case. A court typically has specific jurisdiction when the defendant in a court action has had certain "minimum contacts" within the specific area, even if he does reside or do all of his business there. The defendant in the case could be an individual or a business. Specific jurisdiction may also apply when the issues of the case have arisen from the defendant's minimum contacts.
