In 1790, the U.S. Supreme Court met for the first time in New York under the leadership of Chief Justice John Jay, who had been selected by President George Washington to head the nation’s third branch of government. The court’s docket was completely empty and only three of the appointed justices were able to make it to New York in time for the session.
