For a court to hear a case, they must have jurisdiction, which means they have the authority to hear and make decisions on a case. Jurisdiction can be determined by geographic location, subject matter, or the parties involved in the case. Consent, diversity of citizenship, and ownership of property may be factors in some cases, but they are not necessary for a court to have jurisdiction to hear a case.
