- New Database: Judges and the Judiciary: Exploring America’s Court System
This fully revamped collection offers comprehensive resources on judicial structures, composition, oversight, and procedures in America’s court system. Formerly known as Congress and the Courts, this collection was originally built around Bernard D. Reams, Jr., et al.’s Congress and the Courts: A Legislative History, 1787-2018, which collected congressional documents related to the composition and structure of Article III courts. While this important work is still prominently featured in the database, it is now supported and supplemented with content that goes far beyond Article III courts.
