White himself later said that the work of that court during the period 1879-80 was probably the heaviest ever done by a court of last resort of that size.
White was unwilling to take the lead in asking Congress to modify significantly the Court's working environment in either of two major respects –the creation of a largely discretionary jurisdiction and the authorization of funds for construction of a building to house the Court.
White was, in effect, the last of the nineteenth century Chief Justices, who viewed their role largely in terms of deciding cases, smoothing the ruffled feathers of colleagues and officers of the Court, and preserving the honor of the office.

 [No title]
White's Court is usually not perceived as synonymous with particular policies (as is the case with the Marshall Court, 1801-1835, or the Warren Court, 1953-1969) or seismic events (as is the case with the Hughes Court, 1930-1941).
Alternatively, the White years are sometimes lumped together with those of its predecessor (the Fuller Court, 1888-1910) and of its successors (the Taft Court, 1921-1930, and the first six years of the Hughes Court to depict the influence of laissez-faire economics and Social Darwinism on judicial decisions.
White had that valuable and enviable quality of personality, whether one wants to be a leader in politics, business, or academe that made it difficult for others to dislike him.
