Who beats Jax in League of Legends: Classic, who Jax beats, and the Season 3 items, runes and masteries to run top, jungle. Patch 26.17.
Ground Slam strips the attack speed his E and passive are built on.
His passive blocks your early autos and he wins every level 1-5 trade before your E scales.

Counter Strike blocks your autos outright and his leap closes the range you depend on.

Start:
Core:
Sheen into Trinity is the spike. Guinsoo's stacks with your E and passive attack speed.
AP Jax: Lich Bane → Nashor's Tooth → Guinsoo's Rageblade → Rabadon's Deathcap → Zhonya's Hourglass
Empower carries the AP ratio and Counter Strike still blocks autos, so you keep the duel while hitting like a mage.
Armor penetration outperforms flat AD once the enemy top buys Cloth Armor, which is nearly always. Armor seals win the melee lane trade.
21/9/0 Offense. Sunder plus armor penetration marks is what lets a bruiser hurt a tank before Last Whisper.
