Compare and contrast original and appellate jurisdiction.
What will be an ideal response?
When a court has original jurisdiction, no other court has heard the case or its legal issues. In these instances, the court must decide what happened, and it must apply existing law to resolve the dispute. In contrast, appellate jurisdiction empowers a court to review the decision of the court that has earlier heard the case. Usually, this means not deciding what happened, but rather whether the first court correctly applied or interpreted the law.
