  "id": "MLC-T-LAW-000506",
  "term": "Ancillary jurisdiction",
  "field": "Law",
  "definition": "The authority of a federal court to hear claims that are related to a primary claim over which the court already has subject matter jurisdiction, even if the related claims would not independently meet jurisdictional requirements. This allows a court to resolve an entire dispute in a single proceeding, promoting judicial efficiency. It is now largely subsumed under the concept of supplemental jurisdiction in federal law.",
