A Lincoln Legacy: The History of the U.S. District Court for the
Western District of Michigan by David Gardner Chardavoyne with Hugh
W. Brenneman, Jr. provides the first and only comprehensive
examination of the history of the United States federal courts in
the Western District of Michigan. The federal courts were
established by the U.S. Constitution to adjudicate disputes
involving federal laws, disputes between litigants from different
states involving state and federal laws, and to punish violations
of criminal laws passed by Congress. During the Civil War, Abraham
Lincoln signed legislation creating two federal districts in the
state of Michigan: the Eastern and Western Districts-the latter of
which is headquartered in Grand Rapids and which now encompasses
the western half of the Lower Peninsula and all of the Upper
Peninsula. With the rapid expansion of legislation passed by
Congress, the increasing mobility of society, and the growth of
interstate commerce, the federal courts have assumed an important
and sometimes dominant role in major litigation today. In A Lincoln
Legacy, Chardavoyne tracks the history of these courts over eleven
chapters, from their creation by the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 to
2020. He discusses the changes in society that drove the evolving
federal litigation and some significant cases heard in the Western
District. Additionally, fifteen appendices are included in the
book, listing of all the federal circuit and district judges in the
Western District; commissioners; magistrate judges and bankruptcy
judges; U.S. Attorneys; clerks of the courts; U.S. Marshals; and
more. Chardavoyne also identifies auxiliary offices and
organizations revolving around the federal court that play a major
role in its activities (e.g., the U.S. Attorney's Office, the
Federal Public Defender's Office, the Federal Bar Association,
etc.). A Lincoln Legacy provides a thorough examination of the
history of the federal courts of Western Michigan. It will appeal
to those learning and practicing law, as well as those with an
interest in Michigan history.
