Supreme Court study argues against new national appeals court
A NYU Law Review analysis by John Sexton and Samuel Estreicher argues the Supreme Court wastes time on unworthy cases and would gain by reforming case selection rather than creating a new court. It urges allowing issues to percolate in lower courts and focusing on cases needing immediate action. The study calls the court an overall manager of a legal system.

Justices urged clearer criteria for Supreme Court reviews
NYU researchers analyzed over 2,000 1982 83 term cases and found 165 granted review. They argue vague rules invite long shot appeals and allow personal agendas to influence reviews. They note 39 denied, 47 granted only if time allowed, while 79 supported on important legal questions.
