original jurisdiction The throwback thursday of the judicial world original

00:10

jurisdiction is exercised by all of the following except what

00:13

And hear the potential and well let's say you get

00:17

caught breaking the law We know you'd never do anything

00:19

like that but just go with us If you went

00:21

to trial over the aforementioned indiscretion you'd find yourself in

00:25

a court with original jurisdiction which is where cases air

00:29

first heard in order to determine well what all went

00:32

down Now things don't go your way which is crazy

00:35

because we know you're innocent right You could appeal the

00:38

decision and go to a court with appellate jurisdiction which
