______ is jurisdiction that exists when two different courts have the power to hear the same case, such as when a case can be heard in either a federal or state court.

  1. Exclusive jurisdiction

  2. Appellate jurisdiction

  3. Original jurisdiction

  4. Concurrent jurisdiction

The correct answer is: Concurrent jurisdiction

Concurrent jurisdiction is the term used to describe a situation where two or more courts have the power to hear the same case. In this case, both a federal and state court have the authority to hear the same case. The other options are incorrect because exclusive jurisdiction refers to when only one court has the power to hear a case, appellate jurisdiction refers to a court's ability to review a lower court's decision, and original jurisdiction refers to a court's power to hear a case for the first time.
