Where are the duties of the Supreme Court written?
Many of the duties and responsibilities of the US Supreme Court are not explicitly written in the Constitution, but can be inferred from the language describing the role of the federal courts and their jurisdiction. The majority of rules and traditions developed from other sources. The Judiciary Act of 1789 created some obligations (such as riding circuit), as have subsequent acts of Congress. The Supreme Court developed many of its own rules; others arose from tradition and the practices of British and earlier American courts. Some of the justices' responsibilities are documented both directly and indirectly in the Rules of the Supreme Court of the United States (see Related Links).
