I would use #1, because to me it automatically implies the US Supreme Court. But if it's referring to another country's high court or supreme court, I'd leave the capitals off unless I included the specific name of the court. (The High Court of Australia, for example.)
In 5 and 6, again, the capitals would be needed if the specific court is named, such as Harris County District Courts.
I wouldn't use 7 unless the specific name is used. I'd use 8 if the specific name isn't used.
