Theoretically, it could be. But it's extremely unlikely they would hear the case.
Decisions by all three branches of government can be appealed to the US Supreme Court.
Yes, sometimes. Certain US District Court decisions can be appealed to the US Supreme Court on direct or expedited appeal, if the case involves a statute in which Congress specified initial appeals go directly to the Supreme Court, or if the nature of the case is such that it is important and will undoubtedly be appealed all the way to the Supreme Court, anyway.The normal route for US District Court cases is an appeal to the US Court of Appeals Circuit Court over the District Court's Circuit, then petitioned to the US Supreme Court if a party is dissatisfied with the Circuit Court's decision.
The US Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces Since cases can be appealed to the US Supreme Court from the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, it is really not the equivalent of a supreme court.
The official decision of the Supreme Court is known as an opinion. Rulings by the US Supreme Court cannot be appealed by a higher court.
The US Supreme Court serves as the highest appellate court for cases appealed under its federal question jurisdiction.
To the US Supreme Court. It is part of the US federal judicial system and was formerly known as the US Customs Court. It has limited jurisdiction. See below link for further infoirmation: Decisions from the US court of international trade can be appealed at the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
They got Samuel Leibowitz to represent the boys, appealed it to the Alabama Supreme Court and then the US Supreme Court.
Yes it can be appealed because under court rules it is a final order or judgment. However, there is no right to have the appeal heard by the US Supreme Court unless that court decides to hear it.
The trial phase ends at the US District Court level (or equivalent state trial court). Appeals to the federal US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts (or intermediate state appellate courts) are based on questions of process, law or constitutionality. The case is not retried; appellate courts do not render decisions about the defendants' guilt or innocence.After the intermediate appellate courts, federal cases may be petitioned to the US Supreme Court; state cases may be appealed to the state supreme court (or equivalent). If a state case involves a preserved federal question (matter or federal or constitutional law) it may be appealed to the US Supreme Court after the state supreme court hears or denies hearing on the case.Both the US Supreme Court and state supreme courts (or equivalent) have discretion over which cases they hear (although state supreme courts may have mandatory jurisdiction over certain cases, such as death penalty cases).
That depends on the case. Often, the state supreme court is the end of the road for a case, making the decision of the state supreme court final and binding. Sometimes cases involved federal questions (issues arising under the US Constitution or federal law) that allow them to be appealed to the US Supreme Court. If the US Supreme Court hears such a case, it may affirm or overturn the state supreme court decision.
Many can- IF you have grounds for an appeal. Having grounds for an appeal does NOT mean that you just did not like the decision, but that the court made an error. The decision of a few courts, like the US Supreme Court, cannot be appealed. They are the final word.
The Supreme Court is the highest of the federal courts. Cases from the court of appeals in each circuit and from the state supreme courts can be appealed to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court can "reach down" to the lower courts and hear that case, or, it can hear a case on appeal from the lower federal courts or highest state courts, at the Supreme Court's discretion.
