Jurisdiction refers to the court's authority to hear a case under a given set of circumstances.
There is not a jurisdiction that allows a court to hear any type of case. Even the Supreme Court is limited in the types of cases they hear.
in personam, in rem and limitation on the types of cases a court can hear
They hear cases that violate your US Constitutional rights.
The Supreme Court has discretion to hear whatever cases it chooses. Broadly speaking some types of cases that are more likely to be granted certiorari are those where there is a major difference on the issue between two or more Circuit Courts of Appeal, cases where a statute was found to be unconstitutional, and cases with a high degree of public interest, sometimes shown by the number of amicus briefs filed.
Subject matter jurisdiction refers to the types of cases that a court has the legal authority to hear.
The Supreme Court alone decides which cases, and how many they will hear.
