A case is granted an appeal by the supreme court. The court session is divided into blocks of about two weeks, during the first block justices sit and listen to lawyers presenting their cases. Then justices sit behind doors and decide what cases they will hear in the future along with the help of their clerks which are actually recent school graduates who help the judges with research and drafts of opinions.
Cases come to the supreme court on appeal from a federal court of appeals. This happens when a party is unhappy with an appeal court ruling, meaning the decision that was made on the case. This is why the appellant asks the supreme court to review the case.
Another VIew: Before an appealed case can even come before the Supreme Court it has to be appealed to an Appellate Level Court first. Not all cases are granted an appeal hearing but the ones that are, are taken under consideration baased on their merits for proper application of law and procedure by the lower court. Only after an Appelate Court has rendered a decision considered unsatisfactory to the appellant, can it be appealed to the Supreme Court.
