Answer:

In common law legal systems original jurisdiction of a court is the power to hear a case for the first time, as opposed to appellate jurisdiction, when a higher court has the power to review a lower court's decision. Here, then, is the primary distinction between trial and appellate courts: Whereas trial courts resolve both factual and legal disputes, appellate courts only review claims that a trial judge or jury made a legal mistake. A court of last resort is the highest judicial body within a jurisdiction's court system. It is a court with the highest appellate authority, meaning that its rulings are not subject to further review by another court. A court of last resort is often, but not always, referred to as a supreme court.
