U.S. Supreme Court

 


    In watching the Youtube videos about the United States Supreme Court, there were two things that stuck out. These were the culture within the U.S. Supreme Court and the background processes of the Supreme Court. 


    One part of the culture that is talked about is how even though the different justices disagree on different topics, they all have the same goal and have great respect for one another. This respect is very significant due to the many different backgrounds of each justice. 


    Regarding the background processes of the Supreme Court, one thing that stuck out is that there are 7,000 cases that come in each year and the Supreme Court only takes 100 of those for serious consideration. The justices meet to choose which cases they will work on and vote on previously reviewed cases. The thing that stuck out the most happens after the justices vote. This is an opinion given by one of the justices on the majority side where they give the legal reasons for the decision. The length of this is what stuck out so much. It takes about 4 weeks to complete. These opinions are sent to the other justices who can redraft the opinion, which can take months.
