court packing plan

court-packing plan. An unsuccessful proposal — made in 1937 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt — to increase the number of U.S. Supreme Court justices from 9 to 15. • The ostensible purpose of the proposal was to increase the Court’s efficiency, but President Roosevelt wanted to appoint justices who would not block his administration’s New Deal programs.
