The Ellsworth Court lasted from March 1796 to September 1800. Oliver Ellsworth served during the presidencies of George Washington and John Adams.

Ellsworth was nominated as Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court by President George Washington on March 3, 1796, and was confirmed by the Senate on March 4, 1796. He received commission on the same day.^[1] In 1799, Ellsworth was sent to France to negotiate a treaty with Napoleon. During his travels, he informed President Adams of his resignation, effective December 15, 1800.^[2]^[1]

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.^[3]
