Primary jurisdiction
The Supreme Court has original jurisdiction in cases involving disputes between states.
Original jurisdiction only applies to courts that hear cases before any appeals can be made. -Apex
United States District CourtsThe country is divided into many federal judicial "districts" each with its own US District Court and panel of judges. Any cases emanating from lower courts within the district would begin with that particular "District Court" and then, if necessary, proceed to the US Court of Appeals for [x] Circuit (whatever Circuit the particularly District Court happens to be in). The court with "original jurisdiction" is a trial court, the entry point into the judiciary. For cases of general jurisdiction, the United States District Courts have original jurisdiction over most cases. There are also "special" or "limited subject matter" jurisdiction courts, such as US Tax Court and US Bankruptcy Court that fall under the District Court umbrella (there are many limited subject matter courts that are not part of the District Court system, but these probably hear fewer cases each year). The US Supreme Court also hears a limited number of cases under original jurisdiction, mostly disputes between the states.
A trial court has original jurisdiction, meaning it has the authority to hear a case for the first time and make decisions based on the facts presented. It is where cases are initially filed, evidence is presented, and a judgment or verdict is reached.
Subject matter jurisdiction refers to a court's authority to hear cases of a particular type or category, such as criminal or civil cases. Personal jurisdiction, on the other hand, refers to a court's authority over the parties involved in a case, based on factors like where they reside or where the events in question occurred. In essence, subject matter jurisdiction is about the type of case while personal jurisdiction is about the parties involved.
