Can you sue in small claims court if you lose the first time?

The broad answer is no, but you should understand why. 1. The term small claims court is used to describe the subject-matter jurisdiction of the court. Subject-matter jurisdiction pertains to the type or amount of money or property that a court is given the authority to address in a lawsuit. For example, small claims court jurisdiction of a court may be $5000. Frequently, small claims court is a "subset" of another court. The name of that court differs state to state, but is sometimes called County Court. That court also has stated subject-matter jurisdiction. In civil (as opposed to criminal) matters, the jurisdiction may go as high as $15,000). If the case is within the jurisdiction of small claims court, it usually proceeds under a more relaxed set of procedural rules. If more money is at stake such that small claims jurisdiction is exceeded, the case proceeds more formally. Often, the same judges that handle small claims cases also handle the larger dollar cases because small claims court is a division of County Court (by whatever name it goes in your State). 2. I assume by your questioin that you want to try to recover something from the other party after having lost the first time. Presumably, you are willing to take less than previously claimed, and at first sued in a court that had higher subject-matter jurisdiction. You cannot do this if the fist case was decided upon its merits (on the facts). This is because of a legal principle called "res judicata". It exists to provide certainty to the law and to bring an end to litigation over the same facts. It prevents the relitigation of the same facts by and between the same parties. 3. If you have used the term "lose" to refer to a dismissal of the case for what may be considered a "technical" reason (for example, the failure to appear at trial), you may have a shot at refiling the case. Often, the law of a State allows one such refiling if there has not been a decision by the Court on the merits of the case, and if the Statute of Limitations for the cause of action has not expired. But remember, if you try to refile in Small Claims Court, your case will have to fit within the confines of the subject-matter jurisdiction of that Court.

Does original jurisdiction means to hear a case first?

Yes. The court with original jurisdiction, a trial court, is the first to hear a case and acts as a "trier of fact," examining evidence, listening to witness and expert testimony, and considering attorney arguments. The information is used to decide whether the prosecution (in a criminal trial) has proven its case "beyond a reasonable doubt." Appellate courts are not authorized to dispute accepted facts in a case, and only rule on whether the trial was fair and the laws applied were constitutional.
