back to nine
The Republican majority in Congress manages to reorganize the judicial circuit court system to eliminate what it sees as the disproportionate influence of the South; by redrawing the boundaries of the circuits, Congress reduces the number of circuits composed entirely of former slave states from five to two. In addition, Congress eliminates the tenth seat on the Supreme Court in an effort to prevent tie votes. -
the fight for more
In the midst of the Civil War, Congress appointed a tenth Supreme Court justice, setting up a Tenth Circuit in order to incorporate both California and Oregon into the federal circuit court system. -
the removal
congress extends the jurisdiction and hearings of the circuit court. -
the stress
In order to begin to deal with the Supreme Court's overwhelming caseload, New York Senator William Evarts leads Congress to pass the Evarts Act. The Act establishes a new tier of appeals courts within the federal court system and grants the Supreme Court a limited authority to determine which cases it will hear. -
balance
To create a more efficient federal judiciary, Congress votes to abolish the US circuit courts and transfer their jurisdiction to district courts -
the judges bill
The Supreme Court justices recommend the Judges' Bill to Congress for approval. Congress agrees to give the Court greater authority in determining which cases it will hear by eliminating direct appeals from district courts except in cases involving constitutional principles. -
the appealing
In an effort to further streamline the appeals process and to relieve growing pressure on the Supreme Court, Congress establishes a national court of appeals defined by its jurisdiction rather than by geography. This US Court of Appeals will screen appeal petitions and decide cases before they reach the Supreme Court. -
the growth
Again, as a response to growing caseloads in district courts throughout the burgeoning nation, Congress establishes two new circuits and approves the addition of two new justices on the Supreme Court to preside over them.
