What is it called when a court reviews the facts and evidence of a civil case to determine whether there is basis for a trial?

The process in which a court reviews the facts and evidence of a civil case to determine if there is a basis for a trial is called "summary judgment." In this process, the court assesses whether there are genuine disputes over material facts that warrant a trial or if the case can be resolved based on the law without a trial. If the court finds that there are no significant factual disputes, it may grant summary judgment in favor of one party.
