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).

Exclusive jurisdiction means that court is the only court with jurisdiction. Concurrent jurisdiction means two courts have jurisdiction.

Pertaining to courts, a court with "exclusive jurisdiction" has power in certain areas or over certain persons (subject matter) to the exclusion of all other courts. Concurrent Jurisdiction: Authority possessed by two or more different courts to hear and decide on the same matter within the same territory. The choice of which court will be used is left up to the plaintiff. Note: Military bases, for example, have their own military police and have exclusive jurisdiction for that particuliar Post/Base, and sometimes to outlying areas surrounding the Base or Post that is in their exclusive jurisdiction. However, certain highways, roads, surrounding the said military Post/Base, can be enforced by local or military police.
