The US Supreme Court's original jurisdiction is defined by Article III of the Constitution.

The Supreme Court's original jurisdiction may be changed by constitutional amendment, either initiated by a two-thirds vote of each house of Congress, followed by ratification of 75% of the State legislatures; or by the States if at least two-thirds petition for a Constitutional Convention to propose an amendment, and 75% of the states ratify that amendment.
