AnswerProbably the 9th circuit generates the most cases accepted by the Supreme Court. Even the liberals wonder how they come up with some of their decisions.AnswerThe federal court system generates most of the cases the US Supreme Court hears under appellate jurisdiction. Most cases are on certiorari from the US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts.As the first person speculated, the Ninth Circuit provides the greatest number of appeals. There are two reasons for this: 1) The Ninth is the largest Circuit in the United States, seating two panels of justices, while the other Circuits seat only one. This means they have a larger caseload and experience intra-Circuit splits (conflicting constitutional interpretations on similar cases between the two sets of justices in the Ninth Circuit) in addition to standard Circuit splits (conflicting interpretations between different Circuits); 2) As mentioned, the Ninth Circuit's decisions are out-of-step with current US Supreme Court ideology, tending to be more liberal and unorthodox than most of the justices prefer. This results in the Supreme Court granting certiorari to correct the Ninth Circuit's constitutional interpretations so they don't become precedential.
