Question
which type of jurisdiction do federal trial courts have?
limited
original
appelate
general
Federal trial courts have original jurisdiction, meaning they are the first courts to hear a case. They handle cases that fall within federal law - such as cases involving federal statutes, the U.S. Constitution, etc. They do not primarily handle appeals (appellate jurisdiction), and their jurisdiction is not general as they only deal with specific types of cases. Their jurisdiction is also not limited in the sense of being restricted to only a few narrow - scope matters compared to other courts, but rather they have the power to initiate the judicial process for certain types of disputes.
