1. the supreme court exercises both original and appellate jurisdiction
2. Cases can reach the supreme court by certificate and writ of certiorari
3. The supreme court only reads briefs: it does not hear oral arguments
4. AllStatements about the supreme court if false?
1. TRUE: The vast majority of cases that reach the Supreme Court arrive through appelate jurisdiction. In rare cases--such as a disagreement between states, and a criminal case involving a foreign official in the United States--the SC DOES have the power of original jurisdiction. But it is very rarely used.
2. I don't know what is meant by ';certificate';. I know that cases can reach the SC on a writ of certiorari.
3. FALSE: A select number of cases are heard orally.
4. HUH?
