Answer to Question 1

Stated simply, a state-level case can arrive at the U.S. Supreme Court if it raises a federal question, which is usually a question concerning the U.S. Constitution. First, however, such a case must proceed through several steps. It must move all the way to the state supreme court. That is, a case cannot jump from a state level intermediate appellate court to the U.S. Supreme Court. Next, like many appellate courts, the U.S. Supreme Court must decide whether it wants to hear the case.

The party seeking a decision must file documents with the Court, asking to be heard. If the Supreme Court agrees the case is worth deciding, it issues what is known as a writ of certiorari. This is an order by the court requiring the lower court to send the case and a record of its proceedings to the U.S. Supreme Court for review. Four of the nine U.S. Supreme Court justices must agree to hear a case before a writ of certiorari will be issued. This is known as the rule of four. If there are not at least four justices who agree to hear the case, it ends of the road in terms of legal options. It is not uncommon for the Supreme Court to review thousands of petitions yet grant fewer than 100 writs of certiorari.
