"It is emphatically the prvince and duty f the judicial department t say what the law is." Chief Justice Jhn Marshall, in Marbury v. Madisn, 1803 The impact f the establishment f the principle f judicial review has allwed the judicial branch t be able t fully check and balance the pwers f the Cngress, the president, and the state gvernments.

Private Law deals with disputes between individuals, businesses r ther rganizatins VI.The Prcess f a Case t and thrugh the Supreme Curt: Prcess t the Supreme Curt Step 1: Trial in the U.S. Federal District Curt An individual must file a lawsuit in a lcal, state, r federal curt that claims their Cnstitutinal rights have been vilated. a. The Federal District Curt has riginal jurisdictin in mst federal cases. b. A trial will be held with a Federal Judge and pssibly a Jury, depending n the case, where the evidence will be presented and legal arguments will be cnsidered frm each side befre a decisin is made. c. If bth parties t the claim agree with the decisin, the case is cncluded. If either party t the case des nt agree, they file an appeal t a higher curt. Step 2: Appeal in the U.S. Curt f Appeals An individual that disagrees with the decisin in the Federal District Curt may appeal t the Curt f Appeals which has appellate jurisdictin in federal cases. a. The Curt f Appeals, als knwn as Federal Circuit Curts, is a curt with a panel f 3 judges and n jury. b. Parties file briefs t the curt, arguing why the trial curt s decisin shuld be affirmed r reversed. After the briefs are filed, the curt will schedule ral argument in which the lawyers cme befre the curt t make their arguments and answer the judges questins. c. Once a panel rules n a case, they issue and publish the pinin. Step 3: Appeal in the U.S. Supreme Curt
6 Prcess thrugh the Supreme Curt Step 1: Submit an Appeal t the Supreme Curt Lawyers submit a petitin fr a writ f certirari (Latin: t be infrmed f) requesting the Curt t review a case n appeal. The petitin includes a histry f the case, the basic facts, and the imprtant legal issues that the case presents. The petitin is the dcument the Curt will read in rder t decide whether t hear a case. Step 2: The Appeal is Granted The Justices vte n the merits f the case. Fur Justices must agree t grant the appeal (The Rule f Fur). If they decide t hear a case, they will issue a writ f certirari, r rder t the lwer curt instructing them t send the case files t the Supreme Curt. If the writ is nt granted, the lwer curt s pinin stands. What types f cases des the Supreme Curt select t hear? Certirari is nt ften granted; the Supreme Curt receives abut 10,000 petitins each year and less than 1% (abut 80) f appeals t the high curt are actually heard by it. The Supreme Curt usually chses cases based n ne f fur criteria: 1. A Cnflict f Law: a case when there are cnflicting decisins acrss the cuntry n a particular issue. 2. An Imprtant Case t the Natin: a case presents an issue f natinal r scial imprtance. 3. A Disregard fr Precedence: a case when the lwer curts have blatantly disregarded a past Supreme Curt decisin. 4. An Egregius Errr: a case when the lwer curts have made a majr errr in judgment that needs t be crrected. Step 3: Briefs are Submitted Once the appeal has been granted the legal cunsel fr bth sides submit a Merit Brief summarizing the facts f the case as well as the legal reasning behind their arguments. In additin, Amicus Curaie (friend f the curt) Briefs may be filed by a persn r grup wh is nt a party t the case, but has a strng interest in the matter with the intent f influencing the curt's decisin. Step 4: Oral Arguments are Given Oral arguments are an pprtunity fr the Justices t ask questins directly f the attrneys representing the parties t the case, and fr the attrneys t highlight arguments that they view as particularly imprtant. Arguments are generally scheduled n Mnday, Tuesday and Wednesday mrnings and are almst always limited t 7 sittings at 30 minutes fr each side. Step 5: The Case is Decided The Justices meet in a private cnference, clsed even t staff, t discuss the cases and t take a preliminary vte n each case. After the case is decided, a majrity pinin is issued detailing the decisin f the curt. One Justice is chsen t write the majrity pinin fr the curt. The ther Justices may als write pinins giving their thughts n the decisin f the case. Cncurring pinins are written by Justices that agree with the decisin fr different reasns. Justices that disagree with the decisin may write dissenting pinins. The decisin f the Supreme Curt is final and frms a precedent that becmes the standard f rule fr future cases and prvides guidance fr enfrcing laws.
7 Judicial Philsphies in Making Decisins: Judicial Activism judges' wn philsphies r plicy preferences are used t determine what is "just," nt necessarily what is intended by law. In the area f cnstitutinal law, the judicial activist views the U.S. Cnstitutin as a living, dynamic dcument which must necessarily be interpreted t meet the needs f mdern times. Judicial activism believes that judges assume a rle as independent plicy makers r independent "trustees" n behalf f sciety that ges beynd their traditinal rle as interpreters f the Cnstitutin and laws. Case examples where judicial activism was used in making the decisin even if it verturned current laws. Brwn v Bard f Educatin (Separate but Equal/Civil Rights), Re v. Wade (Abrtin) and Obergefell v. Hdges (Marriage as a Right) Judicial Restraint judges' wn philsphies r plicy preferences shuld nt be injected int the law by making plicies that shuld be made by the elected "plitical" branches f the Federal s lng as they stay within the limits f their pwers as defined by the US Cnstitutin. Judicial restraint believes that judges limit their rle as interpreters f the Cnstitutin and laws. Case examples where judicial restraint was used in making the decisin.
