3 Levels of Federal Courts
4 Jurisdiction Original jurisdiction: where the case is heard first, usually in a trial. Appellate jurisdiction: cases brought on appeal from a lower court.
5 Standing to Sue There must be a real controversy between adversaries. Personal harm must be demonstrated. Being a taxpayer does not ordinarily constitute entitlement to challenge federal government action; this requirement is relaxed when the First Amendment is involved.
6 Federal Cases Federal question cases: involving the U.S. Constitution, federal law, or treaties. Diversity cases: involving different states, or citizens of different states.
7 Federal Cases Some cases that begin in state courts can be appealed to the Supreme Court. Controversies between two state governments can only be heard by the Supreme Court.
8 Structure of the Federal Courts District Courts: the entry point for most litigation in federal courts, trial courts. Courts of Appeal: review all final decisions of district courts, with the authority to review and enforce orders of regulatory agencies. Supreme Court: sets its own agenda.

10 The Roberts Court Breyer Kennedy Sotomayor Kagan Thomas Ginsburg Scalia Roberts Alito
11 Writs of Certiorari The Rule of Four requires agreement of four justices to hear the case Involving significant federal or constitutional question Involving conflicting decisions by circuit courts Involving constitutional interpretation by one of the highest state courts
12 Judicial Review Judicial review: the right of the federal courts to rule on the constitutionality of laws and executive actions. It is the chief judicial weapon in the checks and balances system.
13 National Supremacy Marbury v. Madison (1803): The Supreme Court could declare a congressional act unconstitutional. McCulloch v. Maryland (1819): The power granted to federal government should be construed broadly and federal law is supreme over state law.
14 Selecting Justices Party background has a strong effect on judicial behavior. Senatorial courtesy: Appointees for federal courts are reviewed by senators from that state, if the senators are of the president s party (particularly for U.S. district courts).
15 Selecting Justices Presidents seek judicial appointees who share their political ideologies. Senate filibusters have delayed judicial nominations, causing several potential judges to remove their names from consideration.
16 The Supreme Court in Action Most cases arrive through a writ of certiorari. Lawyers then submit briefs that set forth the facts of the case, summarize the lower court decision, give the argument of that side of the case, and discuss other issues. Amicus curiae briefs are submitted by interest groups, not parties to the lawsuit. Oral arguments are given by lawyers after briefs are submitted.
17
18 Kinds of Court Opinions Per curiam: brief and unsigned Opinion of the court: majority opinion, sets precedent Concurring opinion: agrees with the ruling of the majority opinion, but for a different or additional reason Dissenting opinion: minority opinion; does not serve as precedent Stare Decisis: A decision without an opinion, showing respect for precedent
19 Constitutional Interpretation Strict construction: justices are bound by the wording of the Constitution Original intent: deciding based on the intent of the founding fathers Judicial restraint: justices are interpreters, not policy-makers. Loose construction: considering the underlying principles of the Constitution Judicial activism: using underlying concepts in the constitution to make bold new policy.
20 Arguments for Judicial Activism Courts should correct injustices when other branches or state governments refuse to do so. Courts are the last resort for those without the power or influence to gain new laws.
21 Arguments Against Judicial Activism Judges lack expertise in designing and managing policies. The court makes decisions that require funding state governments don t have or would prefer to spend elsewhere. Courts are not accountable because judges are not elected and serve life terms.
22 Checks on Judicial Power Judges have no enforcement mechanisms Confirmation by Senate Impeachment for bad behavior Changing the number of judges Revising legislation Amending the Constitution Altering jurisdiction
23 Public Opinion and the Courts Defying public opinion may harm the legitimacy and reputation of the Supreme Court. Appointment process and life terms insulate justices from public opinion. Justices deliberate in secret. Impeachment and lack of enforcement power mean justices are not completely isolated from public opinion. The Court counts on others to respect its decisions.
