Explanation:
The Supreme Court's original jurisdiction applies to cases involving: disputes between states, actions involving various public officials, disputes between the United States and a state, and proceedings by a state against the citizens or aliens of another state
Currently, the only original jurisdiction cases commonly handled by the Supreme Court of the United States are disputes between two or more U.S. states, typically regarding boundary lines, water claims, or other property issues. The Court's right to original jurisdiction is set forth by statute in 28 U.S.C.
