How does the Supreme Court work?
Every year they are given many cases and they only choose a few to look at. The applications are called petitions for writs of certiorari. Then when the supreme court picks out a case it is known as granting certiorari. The cases chosen usually about conflicts of law, politically or socially important, or fall within a justice's favorite area of law. After hearing a case, the nine justices vote on what to do with the case. After the senior justice in the majority is given the task to write up a majority opinion. The opinions are usually written by Supreme Court Clerks from Ivy League law schools.
Supreme Court Architecture
1. The front door has many portraits with many different events from history

2. There are many sculptures and portraits of many great past figures. Many of them have been involved in politics that helped shaped the government we have today.
3. In the courthouse there are two figures that are next to each other. I believe they are representing Separation of Powers.
Favorites
1. I love the hallways inside the building. I just want to walk across them and think about all the people that did the same
2. The courthouse is another favorite because I can imagine myself getting shivers just from being in it. There have been so many cases of all types of magnitude that went down there.
3. Lastly I just love the whole entire building. It reminds me of structures from Rome and it looks like a lot of effort has been put into the buildings.
