The Bicentennial of the Federal Judicial System.
Burger, Warren E.
Social Studies Texan, v6 n2 p57-58 Fall 1990
Delineates the federal judiciary system's creation and evolution. Describes original judicial legislation, illustrating the judicial pyramid: district courts at the base, followed by federal circuit courts, with the Supreme Court at the apex. Identifies first Supreme Court justices. Observes that John Marshall's 34 years as Chief Justice firmly established the judiciary. (CH)
