    • Did you know that William Taft was the only president who also served on the Supreme Court?
    • Taft also was the only one-term president to appoint the most Supreme Court Justices.
    • The tradition of the “conference handshake” began with Chief justice Melville W. Fuller in the late 1800s. Before they take their seats at the bench, each justice shakes hands with the others. Chief justice Fuller cited the practice as a way to remind justices that, although they may have differences of opinion, they share a common purpose.
    • The Court cannot attempt to correct a problem on its own initiative, or to answer a hypothetical legal question.
