What does it mean when a federal court only has appellate jurisdiction?

If a federal court only has appellate jurisdiction it can only hear appeals of cases that have been tried in lower federal courts and can't conduct its own trials.For example, the US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts have only appellate jurisdiction, primarily over cases tried in the 94 US District Courts.The Supreme Court of the United States is a federal court with appellate jurisdiction; however, it also exercises original jurisdiction over disputes between the states. The Supreme Court may review appeals from both federal and state courts, as long as the appeal contains a (preserved) federal question. This means the case must involve federal law, US treaties, or US Constitutional issues.


What was the purpose of judiciary act?

The purpose of the Judiciary Act of 1789 was to establish the federal court system in the United States. It laid out the structure of the federal judiciary, including the creation of the Supreme Court and the lower federal courts, and defined their jurisdiction and powers. It also helped to clarify the relationship between state and federal courts.


Which of these is a case where the original jurisdiction is the federal courts?

United States District CourtsThe country is divided into many federal judicial "districts" each with its own US District Court and panel of judges. Any cases emanating from lower courts within the district would begin with that particular "District Court" and then, if necessary, proceed to the US Court of Appeals for [x] Circuit (whatever Circuit the particularly District Court happens to be in). The court with "original jurisdiction" is a trial court, the entry point into the judiciary. For cases of general jurisdiction, the United States District Courts have original jurisdiction over most cases. There are also "special" or "limited subject matter" jurisdiction courts, such as US Tax Court and US Bankruptcy Court that fall under the District Court umbrella (there are many limited subject matter courts that are not part of the District Court system, but these probably hear fewer cases each year). The US Supreme Court also hears a limited number of cases under original jurisdiction, mostly disputes between the states.
