Are the pocket jaws considered to be part of the rail cushions on a pool table?

    I am not sure that I understand your question correctly, but I will answer it as I understand it:

    Is contacting the jaw the same as contacting a cushion as far as the rules are concerned?

    The answer is—Yes, contacting the inner surface of the cushion in the pocket opening counts as contacting a rail, as far as the rules are concerned.
