Such a record is typical of Republican appointees on federal appeals courts in discrimination cases , the area of the law in which national studies show GOP-appointed judges differ most from their Democratic-appointed counterparts.Still , in a few areas of the law , Alito 's record resembles that of the average U.S. appellate judge .
