== Composition and appointment ==<br />

* Exercises appellate jurisdiction over federal courts and state supreme courts in cases involving federal law.<br />
* Limited original jurisdiction in specific disputes (e.g., between states).<br />
* Through judicial review (e.g., ''Marbury v. Madison''), the Court may invalidate laws or actions that conflict with the Constitution.<br />
<br />
== Procedure ==<br />
* Most cases reach the Court by petition for '''writ of certiorari'''; the Court selects a small fraction for full review.<br />
* Decisions are issued as majority, concurring, and dissenting opinions.<br />
