The main purpose of the Supreme Court Certiorari Oversight and Transparency Standards Act, also known as the SCCOTUS Act, is to create a new panel that will review requests for the Supreme Court to hear cases, known as certiorari petitions. This aims to improve the efficiency and transparency of the Supreme Court's decision-making process regarding which cases to accept for review. Key provisions of the Act include the establishment of the Supreme Court Certification Panel, which will consist of 13 circuit judges from the U.S. courts of appeals.
