Dear Mr. Mikalac:

Thank you for your recent inquiry concerning the Judiciary Act of 1789, which has been referred to ALIC: Archives Library Information Center. This act can be found in the Statutes at Large at 1 Stat. 73, 1 where is the volume number and 73 is the beginning page. The Statutes at Large may be available to you in a local Federal government document depository, which is generally a college, university, or larger public library. A complete list of such institutions can be found on the Government Printing Office (GPO) web site at http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/locators/findlibs/index.html.

The act was signed on September 24, 1789. Additional information about the act can be found in numerous works, including the following:

Title:   The Judiciary Act of 1789 / introduction by David
Eisenberg ... [et al.].
Publicaton Info. Washington, DC : National Archives and Records
Administration, 1989.
Phys. Descript. 32 p. : ill. ; 28 cm.
Title (Series) Milestone documents in the National Archives

This and other related works may be available to you in your local library, or the librarian may be able to obtain copies for you via interlibrary loan.

I hope that this information is of use to you. Once again, thank you for your interest in the National Archives and Records Administration.

Sincerely,
Jeffery T. Hartley
Librarian
