"There are three types of constitutional courts: federal district courts, federal appellate courts, and the United States Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court
From hippocampus.org, produced by University of CA and Monterey Institute for Technology and Education
|
|
Congress created all federal courts except for the United States Supreme Court, which is the only court specifically created by the Constitution. The Supreme Court is the final authority on the meaning of the Constitution. The Constitution gives spec...ial protection to the Supreme Court chief justice and associate justices. The president appoints justices for life and the Senate confirms them. Only judges on the Supreme Court are granted the title of justice. (Video is of high quality with slides and narration.)

This excellent video is accompanied by text and is suitable for high school students. "After the president, with the help of his advisors, has selected a suitable candidate for the Supreme Court, the Senate has the opportunity to conduct a confirmati...on hearing. The nominee is present for this hearing and will be called upon to provide information about his or her background and qualifications. Senatorial confirmation ensures that a president will not be able to pack the court with his friends and political partners rather than qualified candidates. Because of this, the Senate hearings can also delve into personal matters, such as a candidate's financial dealings or other aspects of the nominee's personal life."

This excellent video is accompanied by text and is suitable for high school students. "The Supreme Court has the power to make and change policies that affect the lives of all Americans. However, many judges and scholars support the idea of judicial ...restraint, a philosophy that judges should play a minimal role in policymaking. They believe that judges should simply decide cases and leave the duty of policymaking to the legislature. Others, who feel the Court should make bold policy decisions and possibly even break new constitutional ground, support judicial activism. These people believe the Supreme Court should correct policy errors that contribute or lead to social and political injustice."

The Modern Supreme Court
From hippocampus.org, produced by University of CA and Monterey Institute for Technology and Education
|
|
This excellent video is accompanied by text and is suitable for high school students. "The United States' president and Congress each hold a great deal of political power, but their authority is checked by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is resp...onsible for interpreting the Constitution and ensuring that subsequent acts and laws conform to the founders' original intent when they created the Constitution. Serving on the Supreme Court is one of the highest honors a person can attain in this country and an achievement that does not come easily."
