Supreme Court Flowchart

Radyn EIsenebrg and Dareen Mustafa

Appeal

Any case can be heared by the supreme court if one of the parties appeals to the court. However the supreme court gets to decide what cases they hear. If the court decides to hear the case then it is granted a petition for a writ of cretori or if the supreme court decides not to hear it it is granted denied cert. If a case is denied by the supreme court then the last lower court ruling stands as is.
