"Jurisdiction"simply means "to say the law" so basically any legitimate court is one of jurisdiction because has the right to deal with legal matters. I suppose you are specifically referring to a court of original jurisdiction, which is one that hears trials as they are brought by a prosecutor or plaintiff. This contrasts a court of appellate jurisdiction, better known as a court of appeals, which rule on cases that have already been decided by a lower/original jurisdiction court. A court of appeals looks at the validity of the judgment (civil) or verdict (criminal). Some appellate courts however, such as the US Supreme Court, have other powers such as judicial review and can even hear cases of original jurisdiction if one of the parties to the case is an ambassador, president, etc.
