The role of the court differs throughout the branches. The three branches are judicial, legislative, and executive. There are three core roles played by the courts in policymaking. These roles include constitutional referee, meaning giver, and rights protector (Beaufort Longest 2016). "The courts decide disputes regarding the extent of authority enjoyed by each of the three branches (Beaufort Longest 2016)." This is where the court acts as constitutional referees. They decide whether the branch of government is abiding by the policy rules and scope with their limit of authority. The second core role of courts is meaning givers. During this role, the courts clarify the meaning of law and how it is disputed. This role assures that everyone has a clear view of what the law covers and who the law covers. The third core role of the courts is right protectors. During this role, the courts have the ability to reject the rights of those who step out of their scope. This role addresses a person's rights to them and makes sure they stay within those limits. "The constitutional supremacy clause states that the constitution and federal laws authorized by the constitution are the supreme law of the land (Beaufort Longest 2016)."

It is the two most common types of referees. The judge trial referees and the state referees. "Judge trial referees are eligible to hear a much wider array of cases than state referees (Coppolo 2000)." According to the reading, the superior court refers to any non-jury case to a judge trial referee. Examples of judge trial referee cases are Civil cases, criminal cases, and juvenile cases(Coppolo 2000). State referees are retired judges that are eligible to be state referees for the remainder of their lives (Coppolo 2000). Examples of state referee cases are condemnation, legal separation, and Sewer assessment appeals (Coppolo 2000).

One of the biggest challenges healthcare leaders are facing is keeping workers during the Covid-19 mandate. The hospital that I am currently working at is hiring for almost every position because workers are refusing to get the Covid vaccine. This refusal includes doctors and nurses. Since so many doctors are refusing, many patients are refusing as well because they feel if their doctor is not getting it then they should not either. Another challenge is keeping the workers who have the vaccine. Workers feel they are risking their lives more due to being involved with Covid patients. A lot of workers have little children and fear of taking Covid home to them. Most healthcare workers are seeing an increase in salary for new employees but no increase for previous employees.
