Answer 1

They decide about 120 cases a year, about half of which they resolve with no trial.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2010, the US Supreme Court received more than 8,000 petitions for a writ of certiorari, or requests for appeals of lower court decisions. Nine Justice cannot handle the volume of cases that reach their docket each year; instead, they choose 75-100 of the cases most important to constitutional or federal law.
