One of the most troublesome issues that happens when summer hits is your air conditioner leaking water inside your house. And quite frankly, wondering why the AC unit is leaking water inside the home, what causes this problem and how to fix it are the most commonly asked questions of Air Conditioning companies across America.
The U.S. Supreme Court follows a legal standard known as the Rule of four. This rule states that only four of the nine Supreme Court justices are required to grant a writ of certiorari (agreeing to hear the case). Such a practice prevents the formation of a majority (five justices or more) dominating the Supreme Court's planned agenda.
In 2009, the US Supreme Court received nearly 8,000 petitions for Writ of Certiorari, or requests for the justices to review a legal matter on final appeal. Clearly, there is no way nine justices can hear and decide 8,000 cases, so they use their judicial discretion to choose approximately 1-2% that they consider most worthy of their time.
