Wikipedia:
The first kind of error is the mistaken rejection of a null hypothesis as the result of a test procedure. This kind of error is called a type I error (false positive) and is sometimes called an error of the first kind.
In terms of the courtroom example, a type I error corresponds to convicting an innocent defendant.
