History of the North Dakota Supreme Court
The Supreme Court of the Dakota Territory was created in the Territorial capital of Yankton in 1861. The court consisted of three justices, Chief Justice Philemon Bliss and associate justices George Williston and Joseph Williams. Many of the early justices of the Territory were appointed by Presidents Lincoln and Grant. In 1879, a fourth justice was added to the court. The size of the court increased two more times, once in 1884 to six justices, and again in 1888 to eight.
