Why is the US Supreme Court sometimes referred to as the 'first court still sitting'?
The Court follows a number of time-honored traditions adopted in the 18th and 19th century, and continues today to maintain a sense of continuity and decorum. This prompted one historian to dub them "the first Court still sitting," a reference to the many similarities between the early Court and the Court of today.

After state supreme court what is next?
That depends on the case. Often, the state supreme court is the end of the road for a case, making the decision of the state supreme court final and binding. Sometimes cases involved federal questions (issues arising under the US Constitution or federal law) that allow them to be appealed to the US Supreme Court. If the US Supreme Court hears such a case, it may affirm or overturn the state supreme court decision.
