What is the role of the united states supreme court?
The Supreme Court of the United States is the "highest" court in the land. It has ultimate authority to hear "appeals" in nearly all cases decided in the Federal court system. It can also hear "appeals" -- generally only after a decision by a State’s highest court -- that involve a "Federal question", such as an issue involving a Federal statute or arising under the Constitution of the United States. However fewer than 100 cases are actually heard and decided by the Supreme Court in one year.
