The Commerce Court also had one of the more unusual structures in United States judicial history.
There were five judges serving staggered five-year terms on the Commerce Court.
[3]: 279 (The fifth judge of the court, Robert W. Archbald, had been impeached and removed from office.)
All of the judges who served on the Commerce Court were appointed by President William Howard Taft.
All of the judges ended their service with the court upon its abolition, except for Robert W. Archbald, who was impeached and convicted for corrupt practices, specifically soliciting and receiving gifts from persons doing business before the court.
