Trial Attorney Jeff Wertz has been a member of the Bar of the Supreme Court of the United States of America since 2000.  He was honored to be motioned and endorsed for membership in the highest court in the nation by Professor Mistick of Pittsburgh and the late Mr. McFlynn of Colorado.

The U.S. Supreme Court is the highest court in the country, responsible for interpreting federal laws and the Constitution. It has the power to review cases from lower courts and determine their constitutionality, shaping legal precedent for the entire nation.

The Supreme Court of the United States is the only court that receives its power directly from the U.S. Constitution. Article III provides that “the judicial power of the United States shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.” The Court checks the power of the political branches of government, established by Articles I and II of the Constitution. It often does this by striking down laws or regulations that are incompatible with the founding document. However, the Court also must not reach beyond its own sphere of power and interfere with the other branches.
