How the Supreme Court Selects and Decides Cases

The video explains the process of how cases are heard at the US Supreme Court. It covers the court's session timeline, the appeal process, and how cases are selected using the Rule of Four. Once a case is accepted, both sides prepare briefs and present oral arguments. The justices then deliberate in a private conference to reach a decision, which is announced in writing. The Chief Justice assigns the writing of the majority opinion, while dissenting justices can write their own opinions. The video also discusses the influence of law, precedent, and constitutional rights on judicial decisions.
