AnswerOn the fourth floor of the The Supreme Court building they have a Court gym, including a basketball court and it is referred to jokingly as "the highest court in the land."There is no court higher than the US Supreme Court.

Which court has the authority to review the decisions of the U.S. court of appeals?
Yes, the US Supreme Court has authority to review US Court of Appeals Circuit Court decisions, and the party who loses has the right to petition the Supreme Court for a Writ of Certiorari (request a case review).The odds of the Court granting cert are extremely low (around .9-1.8%) because of the number of requests they receive each year. In the 2008-09 Term, the Court received in excess of 7,738 petitions, granted certiorari to fewer than 150, and rendered full opinions for only 83 of them.Bear in mind the purpose of the US Supreme Court is not necessarily to secure justice for a specific individual, but to settle questions of federal and constitutional law that have an impact on the legal rights of a large number of people.An appeal stands a greater chance of being reviewed by the Court if:The case involves a clear conflict between federal and constitutional law; and/orThe case involves a constitutional violation, particularly if the Amendment violated is part of the Bill of Rights; and/orThe decision is in contradiction to other decisions on similar cases, indicating a point of law requires interpretation or clarification to ensure consistent application; and/orThe lower court decision is in opposition to a Supreme Court decision.If the US Supreme Court denies certiorari, then the decision of the lower appeals court becomes the final decision.For more information, see Related Questions, below.

Identify the main responsibilities of the court of appeals and the state supreme court?
The state Courts of Appeal review and render decisions on cases appealed to them from the lower circuits of the state court system. No actual jury trials are held at this level, they simply review the cases for legal sufficiency and render a verdict either affirming them or remanding them back to the lower courts for re-trial. State Supreme Courts hear all cases which have been appealed past the circuit court and appelate levels and - like the appeals court - no jury trials are held in front of them either although the opposing lawyers for both sides can appear and deliver their respective arguments. Cases appealed to the state Supreme Court have reached their highest level at this point and the State Supreme Court's decision is final and binding. Cases can move out of the state courts system into the Federal court system ONLY if the case involves or contains some over-riding interest in, or conflict with, Federal law.
