The Waiting Room

So my ding dong student is on the warpath again. She sent me an email which read:

Dear Professor SS,
I can't find any information about how my case got to the Supreme Court. All the info I found says the same thing. Help

Signed,
Ding Dong Student

Dear Ding Dong:

Please go to this website. If this cannot help you, I don't know what else to tell you.

Signed,
Professor SS

The link I gave her was a Wickapedia link which spelled out in detail and in plain English how the case started at the trial level, moved to the Appeals Court and then to the Supreme Court. I mean it read something like “At the trial level X happened, then the defendant appealed the case to the Appellate Court. The defendant lost at the Appellate level and filed with the Supreme Court for review.

I thought I had solved the problem, but...

Dear Professor SS:

Thank you for the link. But I still don't understand anything.

Signed,
Ding Dong.

Some students are just dimly light candles on the verge of going out.
