When a case goes immediately to the US Supreme Court what kind of jurisdiction is invoked?
When a case goes immediately to the US Supreme Court, the jurisdiction invoked is the Court's original jurisdiction. This means that the case is being brought directly to the Supreme Court without going through lower courts. Generally, the Supreme Court exercises its original jurisdiction in cases involving disputes between states, certain cases involving foreign ambassadors, and cases where a state is a party and the Court has granted permission to hear the case.
How does a case reach the supreme court which is not under their original jurisdiction?
The Supreme Court ultimately has jurisdiction over EVERY case heard, provided the case involves a preserved question of federal or constitutional law. Also state law. A case reaches the Supreme Court through the appeal process. If a case originated in state court it's appealed from the court of original jurisdiction to a state appeals court, then that decision is appealed to the state Supreme Court, and from there to the U.S. Supreme Court. If it's a federal case it originates in Federal District Court, goes to the Circuit Court of Appeals, and from there to the Supremes. Occasionally, the court may agree to hear a case directly if it has national significance. Remember the Court's infamous role in the election of 2000.
