How does a US Supreme Court decision that reverses a lower court decision affect federal dockets?
If the US Supreme Court reverses a lower court decision on the basis of application or constitutionality of a law, it provides grounds for appeal in x-number of cases, which would make the US Court of Appeals Circuit Court docket busier, unless the Court's decision is very narrow (affecting fewer cases). Some reversals would have a more significant impact on appellate dockets than others.
On the other hand, a reversal may relieve the US District Courts (trial courts) of part of their caseload if the courts are able to dismiss cases on the basis of the new decision.
