FIRST PROPOSED REORGANIZATION OF THE FEDERAL JUDICIARY [RANDOLPH, EDMUND.] Report of the Attorney-General. Read in the House of Representatives, December 31, 1790. [1], [1], 3-34 pages. Folio, stitched self-wrappers; some toning and soiling to the front wrapper; some staining in the margins affecting a few leaves; uncut. [Philadelphia: Child & Swaine, 1791]
Randolph argues that the original court system, established by Congress with the Judiciary Act of 1789, does not allow for enough Federal power over the State courts on specific issues, and that circuit riding, i.e. Supreme Court Justices serving on circuit courts, creates a conflict of interest wherein the same justices are hearing both the cases and the appeals. An uncommon government printing, with only one copy coming to auction since 1975 and OCLC locating just 8 institutional copies. Evans 23908.<
