What does original jurisdiction refer to?

The authority to hear cases for the first time

Original jurisdiction refers to the authority to hear cases for the first time. This means that the court has the initial power to try a case, and is not reviewing decisions made by a lower court or deciding on the constitutionality of a law. Additionally, original jurisdiction does not involve the ability to censor school newspapers.
