Yes. Unless a Justice chooses to opt out of the "Cert Pool," he or she usually has three or four law clerks who receive randomly assigned petitions for review. The clerks, who are recent law school graduates, then write a brief summarizing the case and the legal questions involved. The Justices read the briefs, then discuss approximately 30% of the petitions in conference and determine which are most important for them to adjudicate. The remaining 70% are denied without comment.

If four or more of the Justices decide a case is worth hearing, they issue a writ of certiorari to the appropriate appeals court, ordering all the case files be sent to the Supreme Court. They then review the full case in order to prepare for oral arguments.
