Constitution Check: What does “Chief” in “Chief Justice” mean?
The Chief Justice of the United States – that is the correct title – is
one of the few top federal officials whose job was created explicitly in
the Constitution. By tradition, the Chief is also the head of the
judicial branch, and is its dominant administrator. And, if the
federal courts’ reputation is suffering, or those courts are under
political siege, it is to the Chief that the other Justices – and
perhaps the Nation’s people – look for restoration of its stature, and
maybe its power, too.
