The answer depends on the specific court you're referring to. In the Federal Judiciary, the US District Courts have original jurisdiction; US Courts of Appeals Circuit Courts have appellate jurisdiction. Both state and federal cases enter the system through a trial court, which is the court of original jurisdiction. Both systems also have intermediate appellate courts below the supreme court (or court of last resort).

∙ 15y agoThe role of the so-called "inferior courts" referred to in Article III of the Constitution is to conduct trials and handle appeals from trial court decisions. The Constitution gives the Supreme appellate jurisdiction only, except for certain special instances. The other aspect of judicial power is original jurisdiction. Original jurisdiction is trial level; where the lawsuit orinates. One set of inferior courts is the US District Court, which is the main tial level court. Another set of inferior courts is the US Appellate Court, which takes appeals from the trial courts. There are also specialized courts like the Bankruptcy Court, the Court of Federal Claims, which also have original jurisdiction limited to those types of cases.
