No. Congress established the federal court system with the Judiciary Act of 1789. John Adams was elected in 1796 and was instrumental in getting Congress to expand the federal judiciary under the Judiciary Act of 1801, but the Act was repealed in 1802 during Thomas Jefferson's administration.

∙ 14y agoyes, The Judiciary Act of 1789, officially titled "An Act to Establish the Judicial Courts of the United States," was signed into law by President George Washington on September 24, 1789. Article III of the Constitution established a Supreme Court, but left to Congress the authority to create lower federal courts as needed. Principally authored by Senator Oliver Ellsworth of Connecticut, the Judiciary Act of 1789 established the structure and jurisdiction of the federal court system and created the position of attorney general. Although amended throughout the years by Congress, the basic outline of the federal court system established by the First Congress remains largely intact today.
