1. Appeals to Courts of Appeals Decisions-By far the most common way cases reach the Supreme Court is as an appeal to a decision issued by of one of the U.S. Courts of Appeal that sit below the Supreme Court
2. Appeals From State Supreme Courts-A second less common way in which cases reach the U.S. Supreme Court is through an appeal to a decision by one of the state supreme courts.
3. Under the Court’s ‘Original Jurisdiction- The least likely way in which a case might be heard by the Supreme Court is for it to be considered under the Court’s “original jurisdiction.” Original jurisdiction cases are heard directly by the Supreme Court without going through the appeals courts process.
