Yes. The Petitioner (or Appellant) brings his or her case against the Respondent (or Appellee). The Petitioner is the one who files a petition for a writ of certiorari.Usually, this means the Petitioner lost in the intermediate Court of Appeals, but there have been occasional instances where the winning party files first, in anticipation of the decision being challenged. This strategy is sometimes employed because the Petitioner gets to present his (or her) case first, and may reserve a portion of his allotted 30 minutes for rebuttal after the Respondent has argued. Having an opportunity to rebut the opponent's argument can present a significant advantage.
