Civil and Criminal. The US Supreme Court only has appellate jurisdiction over cases heard in federal District and Circuit Courts.
Or you may mean cases of original jurisdiction (trial) and appellate jurisdiction (appeals).
The only cases the US Supreme Court still has exclusive, mandatory original jurisdiction over are disputes between the states. The Court also has the option of hearing cases involving ambassadors under original jurisdiction, but is more likely to remand the case to US District Court for trial.
[Note: The educational packets that claim the Supreme Court exercises original (trial) jurisdiction over cases involving ambassadors and foreign dignitaries is partially incorrect. Pursuant to 28 USC § 1251(b)(1) (federal law, 1978*).] The US Supreme Court has original, but not exclusive, jurisdiction over such cases:
(a) The Supreme Court shall have original and exclusive
jurisdiction of all controversies between two or more States.
(b) The Supreme Court shall have original but not exclusive
jurisdiction of:
(1) All actions or proceedings to which ambassadors, other
public ministers, consuls, or vice consuls of foreign states are
parties;
(2) All controversies between the United States and a State;
(3) All actions or proceedings by a State against the citizens
of another State or against aliens.
The US District Courts currently exercise original jurisdiction over cases involving ambassadors.
