Answer to Question 1

By interpreting the requirements of federal lawespecially the U.S. Constitutionthe federal courts set the parameters for the operation of the criminal justice system so that police, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and judges honor the individual rights and liberties guaranteed in Constitution throughout all phases of the criminal justice process from the initial investigation by police to sentencing the offender.

The Supreme Court, in particular, has a profound impact on the administration of criminal justice. In the 1960s, the Warren Court focused on the rights of the accused and expanded procedural safeguards, thereby limiting the power of law enforcement. As the court of last resort which has the final say in matters that come before it, Supreme Court decisions become the law of the land and state and local justice systems must obey them.
