Description

Any discussion of the factors contributing to the longevity of the US Constitution must devote great attention to the development of the federal judiciary. Yet surprisingly, little has been written about the origins of the Judiciary Act of 1789, the legislation that established the federal court system. This volume analyses the Judiciary Act from political, economic and legal perspectives, bringing together the insights of leading scholars from a number of different fields.
