Question
a type of jurisdiction that state and local trial courts have is
civil jurisdiction.
original jurisdiction.
limited jurisdiction.
criminal jurisdiction.
State and local trial courts typically have original jurisdiction, which means they are the first courts to hear a case (both civil and criminal matters start here in many instances, but the key type of jurisdiction for their role as initial trial courts is original). Civil and criminal are types of cases, not the jurisdiction type about the court's authority to be the first to hear. Limited jurisdiction is for courts that can only hear specific types, but state/local trial courts (like district courts) have original jurisdiction over cases within their area.
