Procedure and Opinion Making in the Supreme Court

- Click here for the wiki.

There is a process in place for how cases get to the Supreme Court. The process is designed to whittle down the number of them. Each year over 10,000 cases are appealed to it. It recent years as few as 75 have been heard, but these are argued to be the ones that raise the most fundamental constitutional questions. The final part of this process is the writing of the court decisions, which are especially important because it carries an authoritative statement of what the Constitution actually means at a given moment in time.
