The 3 ways that a court can handle a case is by 1 Jurisdiction, 2 oral arguments before the court and last but not least the supreme courts opinion this is where they go in the bac and discuss it

There are three separate routes by which the Supreme Court can handle a case that has been appealed to it.

  • The first route is a case under the Court's original jurisdiction which means that the Supreme Court hears the case directly, without an intermediate stage.
  • The second way for a case to reach the Supreme Court is on appeal a circuit court through a petition for a writ of certiorari which informs a request for review. However, the Supreme Court has discretion to decide which cases it will hear or not.
  • The third way that a case can reach the Supreme Court is through an appeal from a State Supreme Court, since each state has its own supreme court, which is the final authority regarding the state law.
