The Court also typically receives a few cases involving disputes between the states, which they hear under original (trial) jurisdiction. The justices' clerks read and summarize the petitions for each case, and play an important role as gatekeepers of the Court.

Cases that appear important and relevant enough to merit the Court's attention are passed along to the justices to discuss and vote on during case conferences.
