The Supreme Court is established by

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).[1] 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 volume 275 were decided the Court comprised the following nine members:

Notable Case in 275 U.S.

An 1886 advertisement for "Magic Washer" detergent: The Chinese Must Go

Lum v. Rice

In

James Loewen called Lum "the most racist Supreme Court decision in the twentieth century".[2] Legal scholar Jamal Greene has called it an "ugly and unfortunate" decision. "The Court's ruling had established a precedent more powerful than the Lum family could have imagined", observed Adrienne Berard, in Water Tossing Boulders, a history of the case. "By fighting, they had only made the enemy stronger."[2]

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.

The

writ of certiorari. On January 1, 1912, the effective date of the Judicial Code of 1911
, the old Circuit Courts were abolished, with their remaining trial court jurisdiction transferred to the U.S. District Courts.
