cases that go directly to the supreme court


What cases are heard in the supreme court?

The Supreme Court decides cases that are appealed by a lower court; a lower court has made a decision and one of the parties feels strongly enough that the decision was wrong that they make an appeal to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court reviews the cases and determines which ones they will hear, they have the ability to decline to review a case. The Supreme Court doesn't hear only appeals, there are situations where it is the court of original jurisdiction. In situations where there is a disagreement between states, the Supreme Court has the authority to decide.


Does supreme court handle dead locked trials or cases that are long unsolved?

no, the primary role of the supreme court is to judge those cases that will have a large impact on the country and can then be used as a precedent for other cases, or have been appealed up through the court system up to that level. Long unsolved cases don't automatically go to the supreme court, there would have to be some reason for it to go there.


Where does a case go after the state Court of Appeals?

The trial phase ends at the US District Court level (or equivalent state trial court). Appeals to the federal US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts (or intermediate state appellate courts) are based on questions of process, law or constitutionality. The case is not retried; appellate courts do not render decisions about the defendants' guilt or innocence.After the intermediate appellate courts, federal cases may be petitioned to the US Supreme Court; state cases may be appealed to the state supreme court (or equivalent). If a state case involves a preserved federal question (matter or federal or constitutional law) it may be appealed to the US Supreme Court after the state supreme court hears or denies hearing on the case.Both the US Supreme Court and state supreme courts (or equivalent) have discretion over which cases they hear (although state supreme courts may have mandatory jurisdiction over certain cases, such as death penalty cases).

All cases that are appealed from the Court of Appeal go to the Supreme Court. First you must seek leave (permission) of the court to make your appeal, however.

Did the US Supreme Court ever hear a case that did not go through the lower courts first?

Yes. There are very limited cases where the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction.


Why do people approach the supreme court if they are not satisfy with the high court or district court?

The Supreme Court (at least in the USA) is the final arbitrator of cases. Cases are submitted to the Supreme Court in order to correct errors in judgment for the lower courts; even traffic tickets can go to the US Supreme Court, although it is highly unlikely because the Supreme Court has jurisdiction to take the appeal only if the appeal involves a federal question of some sort. The US Supreme Court has no jurisdiction over matters that are purely state related. Errors in judgment can cover a wide array of things (much too long to answer here).


Does the Arizona Court of Appeals must hear all death penalty cases?

Yes, the state supreme courts are compelled to hear all death row appeals; but No, the US Supreme Court is not required to hear capital appeals.Death row appeals are part of the mandatory jurisdiction of State supreme courts, but the US Supreme Court is no longer required to review capital punishment cases. The Judiciary Act of 1925 allowed the US Supreme Court discretion to determine what cases to hear, with a few exceptions. Congress eliminated mandatory jurisdiction over death penalty cases in 1988.


Who the gatekeeper is to the courts?

They decide whether cases go up to the supreme court or not in a court of appeals


When are Supreme Court cases heard?

The Supreme Court is the court of last resort. When all appeals and lower courts have heard and ruled on a case it may go to the Supreme Court, but the court doesn’t have to hear it and may let the lower ruling stand or kick it back to the lower federal court.
