Scope and Content Note

This subseries includes records for each judge within the 5th Circuit. It is divided into alphabetical groups for the circuit judges and for the district judges and clerks of court in each state. The bulk of the content includes correspondence regarding federal court procedure, the hearing of cases, designations and assignments, and other matters involving the Chief Judge in his capacity as administrative overseer of the various judges and clerks. Materials cover Tuttle’s years as Chief Judge, 1960-1967, and were originally divided into an earlier and a later series. They are combined here with a loose chronological division around 1965.
