What is the highest court in the United States?
On the 65/20 list: one of the 20 questions for applicants 65 or older with 20 years as permanent residents.
Accepted answer
- Supreme Court
Why this is the answer
The Supreme Court is the highest court in the United States. Its decisions are final: no other court can change them, and its rulings on what the Constitution means bind every other court in the country. Cases reach it after passing through the lower federal courts. Memory hook: supreme means highest, and the Supreme Court has the last word.
