Supreme Court Justices's Circuit Court Opinions

The Federal Judicial Center has just launched the on-line exhibit, The Justices’ Circuit Court Opinions:

This exhibit summarizes selected opinions and grand jury charges delivered by justices of the Supreme Court in the course of their duties on the U.S. circuit courts, the main trial courts of the federal judiciary from 1789 to 1911. As a whole, the exhibit is intended to highlight the important role the U.S. circuit courts played in American legal history as well as the often-overlooked contributions to those courts made by the justices of the Supreme Court.
