Does the U.S. Supreme Court have the power to send cases that come before it to lesser federal judicial courts

Don't you have to work your way up in the court system in order for the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case??

If the case was appealed to it from a lower Federal Court it has the power to ';remand'; it back to the lower court for further proceedings.





If a case is improperly brought before it that should have been brought to a lower Federal Court, it would normally dismiss the case for lack of jurisdiction, and *may* issue a statement of the grounds for its ruling that the case should have been brought to the lower court.Does the U.S. Supreme Court have the power to send cases that come before it to lesser federal judicial courts
They can RETURN a case to a lower court and order the court to reconsider their original ruling. They can't send the case to a lower court that has not previously considered the case.





The Supreme Court is the ONLY Federal court established by the Constitution. All other Federal courts are establish by Congress under authority granted by the Constitution. These courts have only the authority granted by Congress and can be eliminated by Congress.
Usually its the other way around. Cases come before it that were tried in lesser courts. The Supreme Court can decide not to take the case, which is saying that they are OK with the lesser courts ruling.
The US Supreme Court can rule that a lesser court must hear the case again.
yes 1st guy nailed it give him the ten
