Who choose the cases for the supreme to hear?
Theoretically, the justices themselves do. If they are interested in hearing a particular case, they issue a writ of certiorari (sometimes referred to as "granting cert"). If four of the justices believe the case should be heard before the full court, then it is granted certiorari and the case is added to the schedule. In practice, because the court gets about a hundred times as many petitions as it can possibly review, law clerks working for the justices (in what's called the "cert pool") have a significant say in which petitions get recommended for a hearing and which ones do not.
