Question

Explain the difference between original jurisdiction and appellate jurisdiction.

Answer 1

Answer: =======> The difference between, Original Jurisdiction refers to where a case originates. Appellate Jurisdiction means that the court reviews decisions from other courts. For example; if you are prosecuted for a crime, the court where the trial would be held has original jurisdiction. A court that reviews decisions of trial courts would have Appellate Jurisdiction. The U.S. Supreme Court is generally a court of appellate jurisdiction but it does have original jurisdiction for cases between states.
