President Calvin Coolidge.
Coolidge named Harlan Fiske Stone to the Supreme Court.
Learned Hand, named by Coolidge to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, remains among the most well-cited judges.

Following is a list of all United States federal judges appointed by President Calvin Coolidge during his presidency.[1] In total, Coolidge appointed 79 federal judges, surpassing the previous record of 75 appointed by Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. These included one Justice to the Supreme Court of the United States, 17 judges to the United States Courts of Appeals, and 61 judges to the United States district courts. Coolidge appointed judges to various specialty courts as well, including Genevieve R. Cline, who became the first woman named to the Federal judiciary when Coolidge placed her on the United States Customs Court in 1928.[2]
