How does a case proceed form the trial courts to the supereme court?

The case is tried in a trial court - If the outcome is not satisfactory to one of the parties to the case, it may appealed to the Court of Appeals. The Appeals Court will review the case and IF THEY WISH TO ACCEPT IT for review, they will consider the case and render a decision on the question contained in the appeal. If that appeal is not satisfactory to one of the parties in the case, that ruling may be appealed, yet again, to the Supreme Court. If the Supreme Court chooses to accept the case, they, too, will hear the case and render a decision. The Supreme Court's decision is the final word and there is no higher appeal.


When a soldier appeals a court martial decision what federal appellate court of last resort may review that case?

Who can review a case tried in a lower court if an appeal has been made?

The answer depends on whether the case was tried in the state or federal court system, but under both systems the case is appeal to an intermediate appellate court. In the federal judiciary, most cases are first appealed to the US Court of Appeals Circuit Court with jurisdiction over the trial court that originally heard the case. Under certain circumstances, a case may be appealed directly from a US District Court (trial court) to the US Supreme Court, but this is rare.


Can decisions reached on a question of law by a state supreme court may be appealed to the US Supreme Court?

Yes, sometimes. Certain US District Court decisions can be appealed to the US Supreme Court on direct or expedited appeal, if the case involves a statute in which Congress specified initial appeals go directly to the Supreme Court, or if the nature of the case is such that it is important and will undoubtedly be appealed all the way to the Supreme Court, anyway.The normal route for US District Court cases is an appeal to the US Court of Appeals Circuit Court over the District Court's Circuit, then petitioned to the US Supreme Court if a party is dissatisfied with the Circuit Court's decision.

How high in the court system can you go when you are appealing custody?

How does a case reach the supreme court which is not under their original jurisdiction?

The Supreme Court ultimately has jurisdiction over EVERY case heard, provided the case involves a preserved question of federal or constitutional law. Also state law. A case reaches the Supreme Court through the appeal process. If a case originated in state court it's appealed from the court of original jurisdiction to a state appeals court, then that decision is appealed to the state Supreme Court, and from there to the U.S. Supreme Court. If it's a federal case it originates in Federal District Court, goes to the Circuit Court of Appeals, and from there to the Supremes. Occasionally, the court may agree to hear a case directly if it has national significance. Remember the Court's infamous role in the election of 2000.


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).


How are cases appealed to the supreme court in the federal judicial sytem?

The Supreme Court is the highest of the federal courts. Cases from the court of appeals in each circuit and from the state supreme courts can be appealed to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court can "reach down" to the lower courts and hear that case, or, it can hear a case on appeal from the lower federal courts or highest state courts, at the Supreme Court's discretion.
