Appellate jurisdiction
The Supreme Court of the United States has fewer cases of original jurisdiction than other courts with original jurisdiction (trial jurisdiction); the appellate courts have none.
The Supreme Court does not act like an appellate court when it hears cases under its original (trial) jurisdiction. Currently, the only class of case the Court hears under original jurisdiction is disputes between the states.
Section 2 of Article III of the constitution sates:"In all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, and those in which a state shall be party, the Supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction."The Supreme Court has original jurisdiction in cases involving two states, and cases involving ambassadors, consuls, or other public ministers.This is not to be confused with appellate jurisdiction. Original jurisdiction is when the court hears the case first. Appellate jurisdiction is when the court hears an appeal from another court of original jurisdiction.
The Supreme Court has the power of appellate jurisdiction, or to revise an appealed case.
The federal judiciary is devised of 3 levels. They are as follows: U. S. District court - original jurisdiction. U. S. Circuit court of appeals - appellate jurisdiction. U. S. Supreme court - both original and appellate jurisdiction.
