SCOTUS

The three videos below produced by the Supreme Court staff provide an overview of the court. After watching the learning resources, provide an analysis addressing: 1) What is the purpose of the oral argument? 2) What happens to each petition that is sent to the Supreme Court for review? 3) If the Supreme Court decides not to take a case, is it an implicit affirmation of the lower court’s decision? Why or why not? 4) What is a dissenting opinion? SCOTUS Video Part 1 (youtube.com) SCOTUS Video Part 2 (youtube.com) SCOTUS Video Part 3 (youtube.com)
