"Most high courts in other nations do not have discretion, such as we enjoy, in selecting the cases that the high court reviews. Our court is virtually alone in the amount of discretion it has"

About this Quote

In this quote, Sandra Day O'Connor is highlighting the unique level of discretion that the high court in the United States possesses compared to other nations. She discusses that a lot of high courts in other countries do not have the very same flexibility to select which cases they examine, unlike the United States high court. This suggests that the US high court has the power to choose which cases it considers essential or relevant, offering it a substantial level of control over the legal system. O'Connor recommends that this level of discretion is rare and sets the United States high court apart from other nations.
