About This Lesson
The Supreme Court’s powers are to interpret the Constitution through challenges to the Court and to hear cases in specific areas designated by the United States Constitution. But how do they do this? How does the Supreme Court decide what cases to hear and what is the process they go through in hearing a case? This student centered activity requires learners to identify and analyze the process of how the Supreme Court accepts, hears and rules on cases using digital media from C-SPAN’s video library.
