Selecting the cases for any given court year begins the summer before the Supreme Court's term begins. Law clerks assigned to each justice reduce the number of petitions that will be placed on the discuss list. If four justices agree to take a case, the parties involved submit briefs to the court supporting their cause. After public oral arguments, the justices assemble in private to discuss their points of view and vote. If the Chief Justice is in the majority, he either assigns the opinion to himself or so someone else who voted in the majority. The senior dissenting justice follows a similar pattern. Crafting an opinion is an arduous task.
