Normally the court agrees to handle about 100 of the 7,000 cases every single year. The person requesting for the court to review their case is required to write a summary, known as a brief, about their issue. Then a person known as a respondent also has to write a summary. The supreme court starts their period of time on the first Monday in October and they continue until the Sunday right before the first Monday in October of the next year.

There are many cases on constitutional interpretation but two of them are Brown v. Board of Education and Marbury v.
