Original jurisdiction is the authority vested in a court to hear a case and determine its outcome based on the law and the facts of the case. Original jurisdiction cases are initiated by the state or a federal agency seeking review of a lower court decision that reached a final judgment in a case. These cases involve disputes that arise from a state law or federal law and have a direct impact on the state's constitutionality.
Appeal jurisdiction is the authority vested in a court to hear a case on appeal from a lower court decision. Appeals from lower court decisions can be brought by a party dissatisfied with the lower court's decision. Appeals are typically heard by a higher court and involve the same legal issues and facts as the original case.
Advisory jurisdiction is the authority vested in a court to provide an advisory opinion on a legal issue or a set of legal issues. Advisory jurisdiction cases are initiated by a person or entity seeking the court's opinion on a specific legal issue. Advisory opinions are not binding on the lower court or any other entity, but they can provide valuable guidance and insight for the parties involved
