The conference would make “a yearly plan for the massing of the new and old judicial force of the United States in those districts all over the country where the arrears” were, “threatening to interfere with the usefulness of courts.” Taft spoke passionately about the need for annual meetings and lobbied various interest groups from Congress to the American Bar Association. The Conference of Senior Circuit Judges, composed of the Chief Justice and nine Circuit Senior Judges, was established by the Act of September 14, 1922, to meet annually upon the summons of the Chief Justice. The Conference was to make a comprehensive survey of the condition of the business in the courts, prepare plans for the assignment of judges, and submit suggestions to the courts in the interest of uniformity and expedition of business.

“In a government where sectional interests and feelings may come into conflict, the sole security for permanence and peace is to be found in a Constitution whose provisions are inviolable” (Document B). But, what if the answer is not found in the Constitution? At this time there was an increasing sectional conflict between the North and the South. The problems arose mainly from the issue of slavery, and came largely after the Mexican war. Although the issue of slavery had never been fully resolved, it became a very heated subject during the 1850’s. The Constitution never took a clear stand on the issue, and the people began to see it more as source of sectional discord and tension and they ultimately began to see it as a failure to the union it had created.…

Madison. At the time, the secretary of state, James Madison, refused to deliver the commission of the District of Columbia’s designated justice of the peace, William Marbury. In response, Marbury requested a writ of mandamus (or “an order from a court to an inferior government official ordering the government official to properly fulfill their official duties or correct an abuse of discretion” (Mandamus).) to make commission delivery official amongst all members in government. Chief justice John Marshall refused Marbury’s request and concluded that the Supreme Court was not given the power by the Constitution to supply writs of mandamus even if elected officials, such as Marbury (or any other government officials), were entitled to their commissions (Marbury v. Madison). Even though the Supreme Court was denied power at the time, its power increased in the long-run by establishing that “it is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is” (The Creation of the Federal Courts). Basically, the federal courts were given the power to strike down unconstitutional legislation and the concept of “judicial review” (which means that federal courts gained the power to null Congressional acts that conflicted with the Constitution) was officially established as a common practice during the lawmaking…

The federal system is composed of several courts the highest court is the Supreme Court referred to as, the highest court in the land, because it hears the appeals from state and federal courts alike (Chemerinsky, 2007). Nine justices preside over the court and terms begin the first Monday in October each year. Cases heard in the Supreme Court usually have been appealed from a lower court. Individuals wanting their cases heard by the Supreme Court must file a “writ of certiorari” and four of the nine judges must agree to issue a writ for the court to hear the case (Vermeule, 2007). In an average year the court will be asked to hear some 7,000 cases, fewer than 200 are accepted (United States Courts, n.d.).…
