This booklet is designed to introduce judges and judicial administrators in other countries to the U.S. federal judicial system, its organization and administration, and its relationship to the legislative and executive branches of the government. The Judicial Services Office of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts developed this booklet to support the work of the Judicial Conference Committee on International Judicial Relations. The Chief Justice presides over the Judicial Conference of the United States, the national policymaking body of the federal courts. Congress passed legislation establishing the earliest form of the Judicial Conference in 1922. Today, 26 judges comprise the Conference�the chief judge of each of the 13 federal courts of appeals, 12 district (trial) judges elected from each of the geographic circuits, and the chief judge of the U.S. Court of International Trade.

Courts of Appeals were designed to be a unifying force in American law and politics, but they also contribute to decentralization and regionalization of federal law. Woodford Howard studies three aspects of this problem: first, what binds the highly decentralized federal courts into a judicial system; second, what controls the discretion of judges in making law and policy; and third, how can quality judicial decisions be maintained under heavy-volume pressure. Originally published in 1981. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
