Answer:
A court is a judicial body made up of a certain number of judges, whose function is to administer justice with respect to cases that occur in the jurisdiction in which the court is competent. In turn, jurisdiction is the territorial scope and the matter on which the court can make legal decisions: for example, a court with criminal jurisdiction in the State of Maryland can only decide on criminal matters (not civil, not commercial, nor of any other type) that have occurred only in the territory of that state (and nowhere else).
