Question
which type of jurisdiction do federal trial courts have?
limited
original
appellate
general
Federal trial courts, such as U.S. district courts, have original jurisdiction. This means they are the first - level courts where cases are initially heard and decided. They do not primarily handle appeals (appellate jurisdiction) and their jurisdiction is not general but rather defined by federal laws and the Constitution. Their jurisdiction is not unlimited, so it is not general but rather limited in scope to certain types of cases like federal question cases and diversity of citizenship cases.
