If your asking in regards to the Supreme Court then: In order for the Supreme Court to see a case there is a lengthy process one must go through. There are three different ways a case can reach the Supreme Court. The least common way is a case that is under the Courts "original jurisdiction", meaning that the Supreme Court hears the case directly. An example of this is when the Court hears arguments between different states, such as the State of New Jersey v State of New York in regards to who has jurisdiction over Ellis Island.

Basically it almost never happens but if it does it will most likely be between two different states.

What type of jurisdiction did the supreme court have in this case and why?

To provide an accurate response, I would need to know which specific Supreme Court case you are referring to. Generally, the Supreme Court can have original jurisdiction in cases involving states or ambassadors, but most commonly exercises appellate jurisdiction to review decisions made by lower courts. The type of jurisdiction in a case determines whether the Supreme Court is hearing the case for the first time or reviewing the legal principles and decisions made in earlier proceedings.


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.
