Bit more context would help decide which might be best in the context.

Garret, in this case competenza does not refer to "local" competence, but to specific sections of a court that judge certain subject matters.

Yes, I might also go with competence as the dictionary does indeed give it as 'the legal authority of a court or other body to deal with a particular matter: the court's competence has been accepted to cover these matters.'

Discussion
Anyway, competenza has various meanings also in Italian, and one of those refers to the one he mentions (capable).
I think Garret will take all our discussions in serious consideration, and will choose whether to accept our help or not.
I thank Jim for his comment, because this is an area where we can focus on translations, and discussions are positively welcome.
In normal English competent ("capable", but not quite "excellent") is the opposite of incompetent (incapable) highly derogatory.
