>Never does it occur that the court says "This case is high profile.<br>Let's push it up". There is no legal definition of "high profile".<<br><br>This is true. Each court in the US has too large of an ego to allow for the assumption that maybe they aren't supposed to be deciding on a particular issue.
<br>My argument still holds, however, that since the only real way for an issue to make it to the highest courts is with the financial backing to support the lawyers, that the only case that make it are the high-profile cases, not the most difficult ones.
<br><br>To try and highlight my point, there is probably no example of any case from small claims court being handled by a a higher court, however the exact liability might be very complicated and in a halachik system would (hopefully) have Rabbanim asking more authoritative people.
