State jurisdiction concerns essentially the extent of each State's right to regulate conduct or consequences of events. A state has the competence to regulate and exercise jurisdiction by legislative, executive and judicial means. The jurisdiction to prescribe is the right of a State to make its laws applicable to the activities, relations, and the status of the persons or the interest of persons in things.
