The Supreme Court has jurisdiction over cases involving federal law, the Constitution, and disputes between states. It also has the authority to hear appeals from lower federal courts and some state courts, but it generally does not have original jurisdiction in most cases, meaning it typically hears cases on appeal rather than as a trial court. The Court's jurisdiction allows it to make final decisions on legal issues that have significant national impact.
