About us

“The Court Historical Society is a proud auxiliary of the District Court.  It was established in 1991 as a follow-up to the creation of the history office of the Federal Judicial Center.  The Judicial Conference of the United States encouraged its organization when it said:

Knowing how things came to be the way they are contributes substantially to any assessment of current effectiveness and of appreciating the promise of proposals for change.

The Society does very well in fulfilling these expectations.“
