The Supreme Court hears three kinds of cases. Cases appealed from lower federal courts account for two-thirds of the cases they hear. They also hear cases appealed from state's supreme courts, and sometimes hear cases that have not been previously heard by a lower court, such as between one state's government and another.

Article Three describes the judicial branch of the federal government - which is made up of the federal courts and judges including the Supreme Court. The article specifically requires that there be one court called the Supreme Court; Congress, at its discretion, creates lower courts, whose judgments and orders are reviewable by the Supreme Court. This Article also sets the kinds of cases that may be heard by the federal judiciary, which cases the Supreme Court may hear first (called original jurisdiction) and specifies that all other cases heard by the Supreme Court are by appeal under such regulations as the Congress shall make.
The Supreme Court receives about 10,000 petitions per year but only hears about 80. Some factors that the Supreme Court considers when deciding which cases to hear are; conflict of law, highly unusual cases, and the disregard of the lower court.
