The Burger Court lasted from June 1969 to September 1986, during the presidencies of Richard M. Nixon (R), Gerald Ford (R), Jimmy Carter (D), and Ronald Reagan (R).

Warren Burger was nominated as Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court by President Nixon on May 23, 1969. Burger was confirmed by the United States Senate on June 9, 1969, and was commissioned on June 23, 1969. Burger was the fifteenth Chief Justice in the history of the Supreme Court. He stepped down as Chief Justice on September 26, 1986, when he assumed senior status.[1][2][3]

The Supreme Court of the United States is the highest judicial body in the country and leads the judicial branch of the federal government. It is often referred to by the acronym SCOTUS.[4]
