The Supreme Court is the highest court in the United States. It is the most important court in the federal judicial system. The Supreme Court is part of the judicial branch of the government.

The Supreme Court reviews important cases about federal laws and the Constitution. The justices study the law, listen to arguments from lawyers, and make decisions about the case.

The Supreme Court has the final decision in the court system. There is no higher court to review its decisions. The Court helps make sure that laws follow the U.S. Constitution and that justice is applied fairly.
