Supreme Court of the United States
From wikilawschool.net. Wiki Law School does not provide legal advice. For educational purposes only.
The Supreme Court of the United States has original jurisdiction in two (2) instances under Article III (3), Section 2 of the United States Constitution:
- all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and
- those in which a State shall be Party.[1]
In the above two instances, a party may file directly with the US federal Supreme Court from the outset.
