Do the courts of appeals hear cases that are not important enough to come before the supreme court?
It's part of the process. I don't think a case can bypass the appeals level on its way to the supreme court.
What percent of appealed cases are heard by the US Supreme Court?
Approximately 1.2%In 2010, there were 55,992 appeals filed with the US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts, and 8,159 cases petitioned to the US Supreme Court. Approximately 16% of the cases appealed to the US Supreme Court originate in the state court systems, and the other 84% (6,854) come from federal appellate courts (mostly the Circuit Courts).Approximately 12% of the cases heard the US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts petition the US Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari; the court grants cert to approximately 1% of the petitions it receives, reducing the pool of federal cases to about 69 (based on 2010 estimates). Sixty-nine is roughly 1.2% of the cases appealed through the federal courts in 2010.
Who decides which cases the Supreme Court will consider?
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.
What is the role of the US Supreme Court in determining the rules of evidence Federal courts and for state courts?
The primary role of the US Supreme Court is interpreting the Constitution. The Supreme Court of the United States has the ultimate responsibility for settling disputes and interpreting the meaning of laws. It also determines what national policy will be when it applies law to specific disputes. The Supreme Court, the only court created by the Constitution, has the final say on all legal matters that come to it. It is the highest court in our system and there is no appeal from its decisions unless future courts reverse past court decisions. It is the only court that has the final say on Judicial Review -- that is, the constitutionality of a law or action relevant to a case under its review. It has original jurisdiction over cases involving two or more states, and appellate jurisdiction over cases from lower federal courts and the highest state courts (if the state case addresses a preserved federal question).

Why is the US District Court the busiest federal court?
US District Courts are the primary trial courts of the federal court system and are required to hear, or dispose of in some other way, all cases that come before them. Many cases are resolved at the District Court level; not all cases are appealed; some are not eligible for appeal. This leaves a smaller pool of cases for the Circuit Courts, and an even smaller pool for the US Supreme Court. The Supreme Court exercises full discretion over the cases they choose, while District Courts are mandated to consider all cases brought before them over which they have jurisdiction.
Where do most US Supreme Court cases originate?
Most cases reach the Court through the U.S. Courts of Appeals Circuit Courts, or, under rare circumstances, may be received on expedited appeal from US District Court in the federal court system. The Supreme Court also reviews cases on appeal from state supreme courts, and occasionally from state intermediate appellate courts if the state supreme court rejects the case. The US Supreme Court only has jurisdiction over cases involving a preserved federal question (a matter of federal or constitutional law, or a US treaty).Most Supreme Court cases come from a writ of certiorari. This is the order of the Supreme court to a lower court to send up a case so they can review. Most of these reviews come from state high courts and federal appellate courts.Origin of US Supreme Court CasesUS Court of Appeals Circuit CourtsState Supreme Courts (or their equivalent)US District Courts (under special circumstances, only)US Court of Appeals for the Armed ForcesUS Court of International TradeUS Court of Federal ClaimsIntermediate State appellate courts (if the State Supreme Court rejects the appeal)

Which court reviews a lower courts decision?
The US Supreme Court may hear an appeal from any lower state or federal court, provided the appeal involves a preserved federal question and does not involve legislation or a subject from which Congress has stripped the Supreme Court's appellate jurisdiction.Most cases that come to the US Supreme Court under appellate jurisdiction are on certiorari from one of the US Courts of Appeals Circuit Courts; however, the Supreme Court may also hear certain cases on direct or expedited appeal from US District Courts.The Supreme Court may consider appeals from state supreme courts, or their equivalent, if the case petitioned contains a preserved federal or US Constitutional question, and has either been adjudicated by the state supreme court or denied a hearing by the state supreme court. If the state supreme court declined to hear the case, certiorari will be to the intermediate appellate court for that state.The US Supreme Court also occasionally hears cases on appeal from the US Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces (which has jurisdiction over Article I military tribunals).Congress has the authority to grant the Court other appellate jurisdiction, or to strip the Court of appellate jurisdiction, so the following list should not be considered definitive:US Court of Appeals Circuit CourtsState Supreme Courts (or equivalent)US District Courts (under certain circumstances)State intermediate appellate courts (under certain circumstances)US Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces
What is the structure of courts?
There are three different systems in the UK - I will use the England and Wales system. Northern Ireland and Scotland are entirely sepeate, apart from with the Supreme Court.Cases are split between Criminal Cases (convictions) and Civil Cases (lawsuits). Minor criminal cases are dealt with by a Magistrates' Court. This is presided over by part-time magistrates under the supervision of a professional lawyer, and is limited into what sentances it can give. Serious criminal cases, and appeals from the Magistrates' Court, go to a Crown Court, which usually features a jury, as well as a professional judge (who wears a full wig and robes outfit). Appeals from a Crown Court go to the Criminal Division of the Court of Appeal, in London.Civil Cases usually begin at a Magistrates' Court or a County Court. County Courts are as common as Crown Courts and they often share buildings. Appeals from a County Court go to the High Courts of Justice, or to the Civil Division of the Court of Appeal.The High Courts of Justice, in London, is divided into three divisions. The Chancery Division hears cases concerning businesses and money - most appeals from County Courts. The Family Division hears cases related to divorce, children and medical treatment, which usually come from a Magistrates' Court. The Queen's Bench Division (or King's, if the monarch is male) deals with cases involving damages, bankruptcy and possession, as well as presiding over lower courts. Appeals from these courts go to the Civil Division of the Court of Appeal (unless the Supreme Court decides to hear them), except for criminal cases at the Queen's Bench which go straight to the Supreme Court.The Court of Appeal, which shares buildings with the High Courts of Justice (together known as the Royal Courts of Justice building, or the Law Courts) is divided into two divisions, the Criminal Division and the Civil Division. Appeals from here go to the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom. Cases at the Supreme Court cannot be appealed, although they can ask the European Court in Strasbourg for assistance.
