Commentary: The Eastern District's Role in the Development of U.S. Jurisprudence

"Mortals With Tremendous Responsibilities" is Judge Harvey Bartle III's comprehensive and lively history of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Bartle, who has served for over 20 years on the court, including over five years as its chief judge, observes that from the federal courthouse at Sixth and Market one can see both Independence Hall, where the Constitution and laws giving rise to the court were adopted, and Christ Church cemetery, where Francis Hopkinson, the court's first judge appointed in 1789, is interred.
