Hayburn's Case
Case Date: 12/26/1792
|
Hayburn's Case, 2 U.S. 409 (1792)[1], was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States was invited to rule on whether certain non-judicial duties could be assigned by Congress to the federal circuit courts in their official capacity. This was the first time that the Supreme Court addressed the issue of justiciability. Congress eventually reassigned the duties in question, and the Supreme Court never gave judgment in this case.
