Sometimes. Any case appealed to the US Supreme Court must involve a preserved federal question, meaning there must be an issue involving application or interpretation of the US Constitution, an Act of Congress or a foreign treaty, and the point must have been raised at each step of the appellate process.
The case must also have exhausted all state appeals. This criterion is met if the State Supreme Court has either issued a decision or refused to hear a particular case.
The US Supreme Court receives more than 10,000 petitions for writ of certiorari each year, and has full discretion over which appellate cases it hears. A case involving a substantial issue of national importance stands a better chance of being granted cert than one that lack broad applicability.
Statistically, the odds of having the US Supreme Court review a case a slim; approximately 98-99% of all petitions are denied without explanation.
