In Australia, each State has a Supreme Court - which hears the most serious cases as well as appeals from other courts. Cases heard include; murder, attempted murder and conspiracy.
The US Supreme Court exercises original jurisdiction in cases affecting ambassadors and other diplomats, and in cases in which a state is a party. In all other cases, however, the Court has only appellate jurisdiction. The US Supreme Court is the last court of appeal in the United States. The judges select the cases they will hear. At least four of the nine judges must agree to hear the case; a writ of certiorari is issued and the case is put on the calendar.
Some cases that the US Supreme Court has heard are:
Brown v. Board of Education - segregated public schools are unconstitutional
Loving v. Virginia - race-based marriage restrictions are unconstitutional
Korematsu v. United States - American citizens of Japanese descent can be interned and deprived of basic constitutional rights

Woodson v. North Carolina - mandatory death sentence is unconstitutional
Graham v. Florida - a life sentence without parole cannot be imposed on juvenile offenders.
Pearson v. Callahan - courts need not determine whether a civil-rights plaintiff's constitutional rights were violated if they determine that the right was not clearly established at the time of the injury
Oregon v. Ice - the facts necessary for imposing consecutive prison terms need not be submitted to a jury in accordance with Apprendi v. New Jersey
