In the US Supreme Court which side is the petitioner?
The Petitioner is the party that files the appeal (petition for writ of certiorari) with the Supreme Court. Typically, this means whichever party lost the last appeal, but either party may file first. If the case is important enough that the parties suspect the Supreme Court will grant certiorari, they may each try to petition the Court first. The reason is that the Petitioner is allowed to present rebuttal (an answer to the Respondent's argument) during oral arguments, whereas the Respondent is not. This may give the petitioner a strategic advantage.
