内容説明

This volume in ABC-CLIO's About Federal Government set looks at the history and daily operations of the federal judiciary, from district courts, to courts of appeal, to the Supreme Court. The Judicial Branch of Federal Government: People, Process, and Politics shows how the federal courts act as interpreters of the law, definers of rules, and shapers of policy, covering the judiciary throughout U.S. history and as it functions today. In one concise yet comprehensive resource, The Judicial Branch of Federal Government describes the constitutionally ascribed roles and structures of the courts. It looks at the men and women who serve on the federal bench (who they are and how they are appointed), as well as the fascinating relationship of the federal courts with the legislative and executive branches and with the 50 state court systems. Provides a detailed timeline of the legislative history of the federal courts, from the Supreme Court to the district courts by state Primary sources include Article III of the U.S. Constitution, the Judiciary Acts of 1789 and 1801, the Evarts Act of 1891 (creation of Circuit Courts of Appeals), the Judiciary Act of 1911 (disbanding the old Circuit Courts), landmark cases such as Marbury v. Madison (judicial review) and a complete listing of all who served as federal judges by name and by the court they served in
