Question

Explain in no less than one hundred words what happens after a petitioner is successful in presenting his or her case to the Supreme Court and that case has been placed on the Supreme Court's docket (calendar).

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

Parties who are not being satisfied with a lower court's decision must file a petition to the U.S. Court to hear case.

Then participate Justices divide their petitions among the law clerks. In return, the law clerk read the petitions which are being allotted to them. Then they write a brief memorandum about the case. And make a recommendation if the case should be accepted or not.

After the initial petitions have been filed, the petitioner and respondent are authorized to file briefs of a shorter length.

Then oral arguments are taken place. Then the procedure is more modified. When oral arguments are ended, the Justices need to decide the case.
