Jurisdiction is a court's authority to decide a case or issue a decree. Jurisdiction can arise from a geographical area, subject matter or personal jurisdiction over a person.
The first court to hear a case has original jurisdiction. In some cases more than one court may have original jurisdiction depending on the subject matter. We call that concurrent jurisdiction and the litigant has the right to choose the court in which to file.

The case is tried in a trial court - If the outcome is not satisfactory to one of the parties to the case, it may appealed to the Court of Appeals. The Appeals Court will review the case and IF THEY WISH TO ACCEPT IT for review, they will consider the case and render a decision on the question contained in the appeal. If that appeal is not satisfactory to one of the parties in the case, that ruling may be appealed, yet again, to the Supreme Court. If the Supreme Court chooses to accept the case, they, too, will hear the case and render a decision. The Supreme Court's decision is the final word and there is no higher appeal.
