Answer:
That depends on what you mean by "presented."
Cases are typically appealed to the US Supreme Court on a
petition for a writ of certiorari, which includes a legal
brief prepared by the attorney or attorneys for the petitioner
(similar to a plaintiff). The respondent(s)' attorney(s) may oppose
the petition with their own brief.
If the Court grants certiorari, the case may be scheduled for
oral argument, allowing each side 30 minutes to explain to
the justices why their client should prevail. During oral argument,
the justices ask questions about the case or relevant precedents
and points of law (although the justices are often better prepared
than the attorneys, already know the answers to the questions, and
may have already decided how they are going to vote after case
conference).
