When a court exercises its original jurisdiction, it means that the court is hearing a case for the first time, rather than reviewing a decision made by a lower court (which would be an appellate function).

This contrasts with appellate jurisdiction, where a higher court reviews the decision of a lower court to ensure that the law was applied correctly.
