Problem: Research one case that the U.S. Supreme Court or the California Supreme Court has written a decision on within the last 5 years. Try to find a case relevant to an issue we study in the class. Answer the following:
What was the name of the case? Who were the parties? Briefly discuss what the facts of the case the the decision made by the Court. Every year the court has a large number of writs of certiorari received each term. Remember, neither the California nor the U.S. Supreme Court has to hear every case brought before it. Having a case decided by these courts is a privilege, not an exclusive right. Why do you think the Court chose to hear this particular case that you chose, given the large number of writs of certiorari the Court receives each term? Your response should be at least 400 words. Explain your answer and provide examples.
