Criterion over which Cases are, accepted in Supreme CourtName:Course:Institution Affiliation:Date:Supreme Court ProcedureThe supreme Court of the United States receives at least 10, 000 case every year, but only about 80 of the cases are heard in the premise of the Supreme Court. Before a case qualifies to be, adjudicated in the Supreme Court, it must first fulfill certain criterion such as a case having a federal law issue. The main procedure that the Supreme Court uses to vet cases that it hears include first a complaint filing a lawsuit in his or her local State court. The trial judge in the local state hears the evidence presented by both sides, before arriving at a final decision. In the event that the trial Judge decides part or the entire case against the plaintiff, the next move that such a person does is to appeal the case to a higher court than the federal state court (William 2001). After a complaint has appealed to all higher courts and has failed to receive justice, the next move is to consider appealing the case to the United States Supreme Court.
