Question
which type of jurisdiction do federal trial courts have?
○ limited
○ original
○ appelate
○ general
Federal trial courts, like U.S. district courts, have original jurisdiction. This means they are the first courts to hear a case. They handle cases such as federal crimes, civil suits under federal law, and certain disputes between states. Limited jurisdiction would imply only specific types (but original is more precise here). Appellate courts review lower - court decisions. General jurisdiction is too broad a term compared to the specific nature of federal trial courts' original role.
