During the screening stage the judges decide whether to give an appeal a full review or to dispose of it in some other way.The docket may be reduced to some extent by consoli-dating similar claims into single cases,a process that also results in a uniform decision.In deciding which cases can be disposed ofwithout oral argument,the courts ofappeals increasingly rely on law clerks or staffattorneys.These court personnel read petitions and briefs and then submit recommenda-tions to the judges.As a result,many cases are disposed ofwithout reaching the oral argument stage.
