If your asking in regards to the Supreme Court then: In order for the Supreme Court to see a case there is a lengthy process one must go through. There are three different ways a case can reach the Supreme Court. The least common way is a case that is under the Courts "original jurisdiction", meaning that the Supreme Court hears the case directly. An example of this is when the Court hears arguments between different states, such as the State of New Jersey v State of New York in regards to who has jurisdiction over Ellis Island.
Basically it almost never happens but if it does it will most likely be between two different states.

∙ 13y agoThe answer to this question depends on the type of case filed.
Contrary to popular belief, the US Supreme Court does NOThave original jurisdiction over ALL cases in which the state is a party. The US Supreme Court has original and exclusive jurisdiction over disputes between the states; however, there are many cases in which the State is a party (for example, criminal cases prosecuted by the state) that are heard in state courts.
On the rare occasion a State agrees to waive its Eleventh Amendment sovereign immunity, and allows someone to file suit against it, the dispute is usually first heard in US District Court, which is part of the federal court system.
The Supreme Court has original and exclusive jurisdictionover cases in which BOTH parties are states.
