United States
The
Supreme Court of the United States generally has
appellate jurisdiction over its cases;
for example, cases are appealed through the
judicial system until they reach the Court, most commonly through
writs of certiorari. However, in a limited class of cases, the Court has
original jurisdiction to consider the facts and the law of a case without it having first been passed on by a lower court. Currently, the only original jurisdiction cases commonly handled by the Supreme Court are disputes between two or more
U.S. states, typically regarding boundary lines, water claims, or other property issues. Federal courts are granted original jurisdiction in cases involving interpretations of United States laws,
maritime law,
cases involving citizens of different states, cases between
ambassadors and representatives of foreign nations, cases between state governments, and cases in which the United States is a party.
