How does original jurisdiction differ from appellate jurisdiction for federal courts

The correct answer is A) Original jurisdiction applies to courts that hear cases before any appeals can be made.

Original Jurisdiction is the court which has the legal right to hear the case first. For example, the law demands that federal district courts have original jurisdiction over cases that involve federal law.

Appellate Jurisdiction is the court that has the legal right to hear appeals from original jurisdiction courts. Appellate Jurisdiction has the job to review and rule on an issue.
