Throughout the year, Supreme Court justices review cases
that have been appealed to the Court. When a session
begins, the justices select a handful of cases to more fully
review and decide. For each selected case, lawyers for
both parties are allowed to make public arguments in an
attempt to sway the justices and address their questions.
The justices then deliberate and argue the facts of the
case. They produce opinions, which can include majority,
dissenting, and concurring opinions. The justices vote on
which opinion they support, and the opinion with the most
votes becomes the final verdict.
