There are a few ways:
<span>1) The most common is on appeal from state courts. A case originating in state court must work its way through the state court system up to the state's court of last resort (i.e. state supreme court), and then it can be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, but only if there is a substantial question involving a question of U.S. constitutionality. </span>
<span>2) On appeal through the Federal court system. A common route for a case involving Federal laws and the U.S. Constitution is for it to be first tried in the U.S. District Courts, and then appealed to the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeals. The party losing at the Circuit Court may then appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. </span>
<span>In each of these two situations, the Supreme Court has the option to deny a hearing for the appeal. </span>
<span>3) There are a limited scope of cases that can go directly to the U.S. Supreme Court without having to go through the lower court systems. This is not common at all, but is provided for in Article III, Section 2 of the Constitution</span>

Explanation:
Answer:
Legislative Branch:
Creates two separate "bills", in which they are created to solve a problem or implement a new method. These two methods are then passed, and a legislative meeting is hosted to create a bill that incorporates both the HR & S bills together. If this bill is passed in both the HR & S, it is then sent to the President.
Executive Branch:
The Executive Branch receives the bill, and can be given a couple of choices. If the president likes the bill, he may pass it, or contrary, he can veto the bill if it fails. When vetoed, there are choices he can take. 1st is a direct veto, in which the Legislative Branch can try to override the veto with 2/3 vote from both houses. The next veto is line-item veto, in which the president can pass the bill, but does not enforce parts that he does not like. The final way is to pocket veto, in which the president allows the bill to expire.
Judicial Branch:
The Judicial Branch generally only help "create" by interpreting how the law should be implemented. The other job they are given in the law category is determining whether the bill passed is constitutitional or not.
