In the United States of America, court decisions must undergo a vigorous process in order to become public policy. Looking back on history, pivotal cases such as Brown v. Topeka Board of Education, which made segregated schools and facilities illegal, was decided by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has the power to overturn laws as unconstitutional, making the effect public policy. With the case mentioned earlier, the Supreme Court had the power to call upon the Executive branch in forcing schools to desegregate, making intergrated schools new public policy. Also, a case decided years prior to a current case can be used as a precedent to prove your side of a case. After years of new cases using older ones for clarity, it becomes adopted as public policy and is occasionally supported by a legislative order.
No. The Supreme Court's interpretation of the Constitution and federal laws is definitive. There are situations where a federal agency (or the Federal Reserve) could change its policy slightly to try to work around a Supreme Court decision while still basically doing the same thing, but that isn't "overriding" the Supreme Court.
At a suspect's arraignment, the primary decisions include informing the defendant of the charges against them, determining whether they understand their rights, and allowing them to enter a plea (guilty, not guilty, or no contest). The court may also address bail conditions, deciding whether to release the defendant or keep them in custody pending trial. Additionally, the arraignment sets the timeline for future court dates and proceedings.
No. It is not nonrival -- a public good must be able to be consumed by anybody at any time (or like national defense, it can be consumed by everybody in a certain area at all times). Only so many people can use a tennis court, so it doesn't.
Once an estate is filed it becomes a public record. The executor must file an inventory of all the assets and at the endof the probate process must file an accounting of any assets that were spent or distributed. You can visit the court and ask to see the file. If a long period of time has passed (over a year) and no account has been filed you can ask the court to compel the executor to file an account if you are an interested party.Once an estate is filed it becomes a public record.

During the 1500s, China's official trade policy was characterized by a focus on self-sufficiency and strict regulation of foreign trade. The Ming Dynasty implemented a tribute system, where foreign states were required to acknowledge China's superiority and pay tribute to engage in trade. This policy limited direct commercial interactions with foreign merchants, emphasizing that trade should primarily benefit the imperial court and maintain social order. As a result, official trade was conducted through designated ports and was heavily monitored by the government.
The supreme court shapes public policy by ruling against or in the favor of some one in court.
The US Supreme Court's primary power is NOT to shape public policy, but instead, its primary power concerns upholding, protecting, and to a limited degree interpreting the US Constitution for today's problems.
Public policy covers all of the above--executive orders and legislative statutes, bureaucratic rules and regulations, and judicial court opinions.

Most state trial court decisions are NOT published. Unless the trial is newsworthy and the media chooses to publish the results of the trial, there is no routine public publishing of these decisions. However, the results of any trial are a public record and may be researched by going to the Office of the Clerk of the Court for your research.
Actions or agreements that are considered harmful to the public interest or against societal values are deemed unenforceable in a court of law due to being contrary to public policy.
Public opinion can influence court decisions through various means, such as shaping the interpretation of laws, influencing the selection of judges, and impacting the overall perception of the judiciary's legitimacy. Judges may take public sentiment into account when making decisions, especially in high-profile cases, to maintain public trust and support for the legal system.
