If you mean what kind of jurisdiction does a court have when it is first to review a case (e.g., as a trial court), the term is original jurisdiction.
All courts in the USA must have jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter relating to the lawsuit. For example, a court that only heard criminal cases could not hear a divorce case and vice-versa. When court hears a case and the issue in question is one that it has not heard before, it is a question/case of "first impression."
Jurisdiction is the power/authority of a court to decide a particular kind of case. State and Federal Laws determine the basis for the type of case the court may hear and the amount in question.
The term, "venue," refers to the geographical area for which the court has jurisdiction. For example, a state court in one county would not have venue for cases over which another state court, in a different part of the state, would have original venue.
