The easiest way to understand jurisdiction that I know of it to think of it as "the long arm of the law," aka power.

Here is a court. Can that court reach out, somehow, and bring you into one of its courtrooms? If so, it has jurisdiction over you.

Or maybe, is there a complex interrelationship between courts in different jurisdictions, so that one court will honor an order from another court? If so, it has jurisdiction over you.

But an order entered by a court without jurisdiction is void ab initio. It is nugatory. It is as if it does not exist. Legally, it does not exist.

However, don't try to figure this out without a lawyer. There are too many traps for the unwary.

If I were Sharon, I'd stay in Israel after my term in office was over, and never take the risk.
