The documents illustrate the contending views of lawyers, judges, legislators, legal scholars, and ordinary citizens on the judiciary’s role in American constitutional government. Documents are drawn from a variety of governmental and nongovernmental sources, including congressional floor debates, testimony in congressional hearings, bar association meetings, public addresses, legal treatises, law reviews, and popular periodicals.</div> </p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="view-footer"> <div class="view view-material-display view-id-material_display view-display-id-block_1 view-dom-id-11fafac23082709914b74bca53aa1d37"> <div class="view-header"> <strong>Downloadable file:</strong> </div> <div class="view-content"> <div class="views-row views-row-1 views-row-odd views-row-first views-row-last"> <span class="views-field views-field-field-path-to-file-1"> <span class="field-content"><img src="/modules/file/icons/application-pdf.png" alt="PDF icon"></img></span> </span> <span class="views-field views-field-field-path-to-file"> <span class="field-content"><a href="/sites/default/files/2014/Debates-Federal-Judiciary-Vol-II.pdf"> Download</a></span> </span> <span class="views-field views-field-php"> <span class="field-content">277 pages<br /></span> </span> </div> </div> </div><div class="view view-material-display view-id-material_display view-display-id-block_4 view-dom-id-a6e4b6e9cb9bb89b82b9387a6797e2ca"> <div class="view-header"> <br /> </div> <div class="view-content"> <div class="views-row views-row-1 views-row-odd views-row-first views-row-last"> </div> </div> </div><div class="view view-material-display view-id-material_display view-display-id-block_2 material-display-tags view-dom-id-0e0574f31ddf11313f02482b8ce2dc80"> <div class="view-header"> <strong>Tags:</strong> </div> <div class="view-content"> <div class="views-row views-row-1 views-row-odd views-row-first views-row-last"> <span class="views-field views-field-field-subject-tags"> <span class="field-content"><a href="/subject/admiralty" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Admiralty</a> | <a href="/subject/federal-judicial-history" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Federal Judicial History</a></span> </span> | <span class="views-field views-field-field-collection-tags"> <span class="field-content"><a href="/collection/monographs-substantive-legal-topics" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Monographs on Substantive Legal Topics</a></span> </span> <div class="views-field views-field-field-series-tags"> <strong class="views-label views-label-field-series-tags">Series: </strong> <div class="field-content"><a href="/series/documentary-history-debates-federal-judiciary" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Documentary History of Debates on the Federal Judiciary</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <footer class="l-footer" role="contentinfo"> <div class="l-region l-region--footer"> <div id="block-addtoany-addtoany-button" class="block block--addtoany block-addtoany-addtoany-button block--addtoany-addtoany-button"> <div class="block__content"> <span class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_24 a2a_target addtoany_list" id="da2a_1"> <a class="a2a_dd addtoany_share_save" href="https://www.addtoany.com/share#url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fjc.gov%2Fcontent%2Fdebates-federal-judiciary-documentary-history-volume-ii-1875%25E2%2580%25931939&title=Debates%20on%20the%20Federal%20Judiciary%3A%20A%20Documentary%20History%2C%20Volume%20II%3A%201875%E2%80%931939"><img src="/sites/all/themes/fjc_omega/images/share-btn-18x20.png" alt="Share"/> Share this page</a> </span> <script type="text/javascript"> <![CDATA[//><!]]> </script> </div> </div> <div id="block-block-26" class="block block--block block-block-26 block--block-26"> <div class="block__content"> <div id="footer-bottom"> <div class="footer-about"> <div align="center">Thurgood Marshall Federal Judiciary Building</div> <div align="center">One Columbus Circle NE</div> <div align="center">Washington, DC 20002-8003</div> <div align="center">202-502-4000</div> <div align="center"> </div> <div align="center"><a href="http://www.supremecourtus.gov">Supreme Court of the United States</a> <a href="http://www.uscourts.gov">USCourts.gov</a> <a href="http://www.ussc.gov">U.S. Sentencing Commission</a> <a href="https://fjcfoundation.org">Federal Judicial Center Foundation</a></div> <div align="center"> </div> <div align="center"><em>This website is produced and published at U.S. taxpayer expense.</em></div> <div align="center"> </div> <p>The Federal Judicial Center produced and maintains this site in furtherance of its statutory mission.
