Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This pioneering text presents, in one single volume, the history of the federal courts since their establishment in 1789 and the changes that have occurred in the 200 years since. The author examines the historical context from which the federal court system grew and explores the expansion of the court system in response to procedural, conceptual, and historical influences. The evolution of the different types of federal courts through time is of particular focus, along with the growth of the jurisdiction of the federal courts and the changes to the procedure before the Supreme Court over time.To understand judicial history, it is important to appreciate the nuances of procedure and legal terminology at a particular time. For this reason, the author adheres to the use of the terms of law and procedure understood during the period under discussion. For example, a term such as 'circuit court' is used in its context as a trial court prior to 1911 and again in the context of today's 'Circuit Court of Appeals.'Specific chapters include:BL The Prelude to the EstablishmentBL Federal Courts Under the Articles of ConfederationBL The Establishment of the Federal CourtsBL The Organization of the CircuitsBL Judicial LegislationBL Growth of Federal JurisdictionBL Growth of Federal Criminal JurisdictionBL Civil Procedure in the Federal CourtsBL Bankruptcy in American LawBL Criminal Procedure in the Federal CourtsBL Development of the Appellate ReviewBL Procedure Before the United States Supreme CourtBL Federal JudgesBL Courts in the District of Columbia
