Nominative reports

In 1874, the U.S. government created the United States Reports, and retroactively numbered older privately-published case reports as part of the new series. As a result, cases appearing in volumes 1–90 of U.S. Reports have dual citation forms; one for the volume number of U.S. Reports, and one for the volume number of the reports named for the relevant reporter of decisions (these are called “nominative reports“).

William Cranch

Starting with the 5th volume of U.S. Reports, the Reporter of Decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States was William Cranch. Cranch was Reporter of Decisions from 1801 to 1815, covering volumes 5 through 13 of United States Reports which correspond to volumes 1 through 9 of his Cranch’s Reports. As such, the complete citation to, for example, Field v. Holland is 10 U.S. (6 Cranch) 8 (1810).

Justices of the Supreme Court at the time of 10 U.S. (6 Cranch)

{{see also|List of justices of the Supreme Court of the United States}}{{see also|List of United States Supreme Court justices by time in office}}{{see also|List of justices of the Supreme Court of the United States by court composition}}The Supreme Court is established by Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution of the United States, which says: “The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court . . .”. The size of the Court is not specified; the Constitution leaves it to Congress to set the number of justices. Under the Judiciary Act of 1789 Congress originally fixed the number of justices at six (one chief justice and five associate justices).WEB,guides.ll.georgetown.edu/supreme_court, Supreme Court Research Guide, 7 April 2021, Georgetown Law Library, Since 1789 Congress has varied the size of the Court from six to seven, nine, ten, and back to nine justices (always including one chief justice).When the cases in 10 U.S. (6 Cranch) were decided, the Court comprised these seven justices:{| class=“wikitable sortable”! scope=“col” style="width: 10px;” | Portrait! scope=“col” style="width: 10px;” | Justice! scope=“col” style="width: 10px;” | Office! scope=“col” style="width: 10px;” | Home State! scope=“col” style="width: 10px;” | Succeeded! scope=“col” style="width: 10px;” | Date confirmed by the Senate(Vote) ! scope=“col” style="width: 10px;” | Tenure on Supreme Court75px)John Marshall>Chief Justice of the United States>Chief Justice Virginia Oliver EllsworthJanuary 27, 1801}}(Acclamation)February 4, 1801}}–July 6, 1835(Died)75px)| William CushingAssociate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States>Associate Justice Massachusetts original seat establishedSeptember 26, 1789}}(Acclamation)February 2, 1790}}–September 13, 1810(Died)75px)| Samuel ChaseAssociate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States>Associate Justice Maryland John Blair, Jr.January 27, 1796}}(Acclamation)February 4, 1796}}–June 19, 1811(Died)75px)| Bushrod WashingtonAssociate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States>Associate Justice Virginia James WilsonDecember 20, 1798}}(Acclamation)November 9, 1798}}(Recess Appointment)–November 26, 1829(Died)75px)William Johnson (judge)>William JohnsonAssociate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States>Associate Justice South Carolina Alfred MooreMarch 24, 1804}}(Acclamation)May 7, 1804}}–August 4, 1834(Died) 75px)| Henry Brockholst LivingstonAssociate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States>Associate Justice New York (state) >William Paterson (judge)>William PatersonDecember 17, 1806}}(Acclamation)January 20, 1807}}–March 18, 1823(Died)75px)| Thomas ToddAssociate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States>Associate Justice Kentucky new seatMarch 2, 1807}}(Acclamation)March 3, 1807}}–February 7, 1826(Died)

Notable cases in 10 U.S. (6 Cranch)

Fletcher v. Peck“>

Fletcher v. Peck

{{see also|Yazoo land scandal}}In Fletcher v. Peck, 10 U.S. (6 Cranch) 87 (1810), for the first time the Court held a state law to be unconstitutional (in Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. (1 Cranch) 137 (1803), the Supreme Court had for the first time held a federal law to be unconstitutional). The Court in Fletcher helped create a line of precedents supporting the sanctity of contracts, and hinted that Native Americans did not hold complete title to their own lands.Tyler v. Tuel“>

Tyler v. Tuel

In Tyler v. Tuel, 10 U.S. (6 Cranch) 324 (1810), the Court held that an assignee of a geographically limited patent right could not bring an action in the assignee’s own name. It was the first published Supreme Court decision on patent law.Robert A. Matthews, Jr., 5 Annotated Patent Digest § 35:1, via Westlaw, retrieved 2014-12-30 (“perhaps the first published decision on a patent question by the Supreme Court“).Malla Pollack, The Owned Public Domain: The Constitutional Right Not to Be Excluded - or the Supreme Court Chose the Right Breakfast Cereal in Kellogg v. National Biscuit Co., 22 Hastings Comm. & Ent L.J. 265, 291 n119 (2000). Like other Supreme Court patent cases prior to Evans v. Eaton, 16 U.S. (3 Wheat.) 454 (1818), however, it did not deal with substantive patent law, but only with the law of patent assignment.Harold C. Wegner, Post-Merck Experimental Use and the “Safe Harbor”, 15 Fed. Circuit B.J. 1, 37 (2005).

Citation style

{{see also|United States district court}}{{see also|United States circuit court}}{{see also|United States federal courts}}Under the Judiciary Act of 1789 the federal court structure at the time comprised District Courts, which had general trial jurisdiction; Circuit Courts, which had mixed trial and appellate (from the US District Courts) jurisdiction; and the United States Supreme Court, which had appellate jurisdiction over the federal District and Circuit courts—and for certain issues over state courts. The Supreme Court also had limited original jurisdiction (i.e., in which cases could be filed directly with the Supreme Court without first having been heard by a lower federal or state court). There were one or more federal District Courts and/or Circuit Courts in each state, territory, or other geographical region.Bluebook citation style is used for case names, citations, and jurisdictions.

• “C.C.D.” = United States Circuit Court for the District of . . .
  • e.g.,“C.C.D.N.J.” = United States Circuit Court for the District of New Jersey
• “D.” = United States District Court for the District of . . .
  • e.g.,“D. Mass.” = United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts
• “E.” = Eastern; “M.” = Middle; “N.” = Northern; “S.” = Southern; “W.” = Western
  • e.g.,“C.C.S.D.N.Y.” = United States Circuit Court for the Southern District of New York
  • e.g.,“M.D. Ala.” = United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama
• “Ct. Cl.” = United States Court of Claims
• The abbreviation of a state’s name alone indicates the highest appellate court in that state’s judiciary at the time.
  • e.g.,“Pa.” = Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
  • e.g.,“Me.” = Supreme Judicial Court of Maine
