I

{¶ 1} This appeal requires us to determine whether municipal courts have subject-matter jurisdiction over matters lacking connections to their geographical territories. For the following reasons, we hold that municipal courts do not have subject-matter jurisdiction over extraterritorial matters except in limited statutorily created circumstances. We therefore affirm the holding of the court of appeals.
