Courts that have original jurisdiction have the authority to hear and decide cases that are presented for the first time. These courts do not review cases that have already been decided, but rather hear evidence, decide on the facts, and issue a judgment or ruling. Examples of courts with original jurisdiction include trial courts and some specialized courts.
