Question

a child’s adoptive parents go to court to finalize the child’s adoption. this court would most likely be a court with which jurisdiction?
○ a court of civil jurisdiction
○ a court of original jurisdiction

Explanation:

Adoption cases are civil matters. Civil jurisdiction courts handle non - criminal cases like family law (including adoptions). Original jurisdiction refers to a court's authority to hear a case first (not relevant here). Limited jurisdiction courts have restricted powers (e.g., traffic courts). General jurisdiction courts handle a wide range of cases but the key here is that adoption is a civil matter.
