It's not clear whether you're asking about the US Supreme Court's jurisdiction or the two broad categories of cases the US Supreme Court hears under appellate jurisdiction.
Jurisdiction
- Appellate jurisdiction (appeals from lower courts)
- Original jurisdiction (first court to hear a case)
Types of Appellate Cases
- Civil
- Criminal
Note that appellate courts are not triers of fact and do not determine guilt or innocence. When the Supreme Court reviews a case, the justices consider the questions the petitioner raised relative to the Constitution, federal law, or a US treaty.
