Abstract

Our Federal Judicial Establishment - II

The article comments on the federal judicial establishment in the U.S. Of the District judge, there is no judge professionally trained in the Southern States exercising jurisdiction in any Northern State, except sometimes by special assignment in an emergency, though five of the judges of Northern district were actually born in the South. Another interesting feature of the judicial service as exhibited by the Register of the Department of Justice, particularly since the President has shown a disposition to promote judges where it can be done consistently with other considerations, is the length of the service of the judges, as shown by the dates of their commissions. The facts as to the Supreme judges are already quite well known but as to the others most people are perhaps not so well informed.
