AnswerThe US Supreme Court and some state supreme courts only take cases by Writ of Certiori, or only those cases which they choose to accept. The US Supreme Court can only hear about 1% of the cases which request a hearing every year, so only those cases which present a novel or important area of unsettled law can be heard.
