Before President Adams left office, Congress passed a Judiciary Act which created new federal courts. President Adams immediately appointed Federalist judges to all of the new positions.
When Jefferson arrived, he immediately repealed the Judiciary Act and impeached a few judges. This led to the famous court case Marbury v. Madison (1803), where the Supreme Court held in Jefferson's favor by declaring a federal law to be unconstitutional for the first time.
