The Supreme Court is mainly what kind of court?
In most cases, supreme courts are final appellate courts.
What kind of experience do US Supreme Court nominees almost always have?
Over the past few decades, most US Supreme Court nominees have had judicial experience on one of the US Courts of Appeals Circuit Courts. This is no coincidence; most justices were appointed to the Circuit Courts for the purpose of developing appellate experience and a record of jurisprudence because they had already been identified as potential future US Supreme Court justices. The Circuit Courts have become the US Supreme Court's farm team.
What cases are heard in the supreme court?
The Supreme Court decides cases that are appealed by a lower court; a lower court has made a decision and one of the parties feels strongly enough that the decision was wrong that they make an appeal to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court reviews the cases and determines which ones they will hear, they have the ability to decline to review a case. The Supreme Court doesn't hear only appeals, there are situations where it is the court of original jurisdiction. In situations where there is a disagreement between states, the Supreme Court has the authority to decide.

What is the first major body of the judicial branch?
"In the United States, the Supreme Court of the United States is the highest court in the country, with powers of judicial review first asserted in Calder v. Bull (1798) in Justice Iredell's dissenting opinion. The power was later given binding authority by Justice Marshall in Marbury v. Madison (1803). Each U.S. state has a state supreme court, though some do not actually use the term "supreme court." In Maine and Massachusetts the highest court is styled the "Supreme Judicial Court", as well as the oldest appellate court of continuous operation in the Western hemisphere. In New York, Maryland, and the District of Columbia the highest court is the "Court of Appeals." (In New York, the "Supreme Court" is the trial court of general unlimited jurisdiction and the intermediate appellate court is called the "Supreme Court - Appellate Division".) In West Virginia, the highest court of the state is called "Supreme Court of Appeals." Oklahoma and Texas each have two separate highest courts, one for criminal appeals ("Court of Criminal Appeals") and one for civil cases ("Supreme Court")." -Wikipedia.comIt varies on where your finding it. As you can see wikipedia says the judicial system is jumbled. Virginia's highest court is an Appeal court.Thats court room wise. But here is a government outlook."* In common law jurisdictions, courts interpret law, including constitutions, statutes, and regulations. They also make law based upon prior case law in areas where the legislature has not made law. For instance, the tort of negligence is not derived from statute law in most common law jurisdictions. The term common law refers to this kind of law. * In civil law jurisdictions, courts interpret the law, but are, at least in theory, prohibited from creating law, and thus, still in theory, do not issue rulings more general than the actual case to be judged. In practice, jurisprudence plays the same role as case law. * In socialist law, the primary responsibility for interpreting the law belongs to the legislature." -Wikipedia.comIt varies on what exactly your looking for in the topic.
