Cases may only reach the Supreme Court by the appeals process, after they have already been appealed at each lower-level court. The Supreme Court only handles cases that deal with national issues or allegations that a person's constitutional rights were violated in the courts, or cases that involve conflicting state laws. And when a case is appealed to the Supreme Court, the justices review the paperwork that is submitted and can either decline or accept the case. So many cases may be appealed to the Supreme Court level, but very, very few are heard.

The Supreme Court mostly grants "petitions for writ of certiorari" from the U.S. Court of Appeals or from state Supreme Courts.
