Federal Judiciary Seeking 67 New Judgeships

“The Judicial Conference of the United States today voted to ask Congress to create 67 new federal judgeships—15 for the courts of appeals and 52 for the district courts. Congress has not increased the number of appellate judges since it last enacted an omnibus judgeship bill in 1990. Since that time, the number of court of appeals judgeships has remained at 179, even though federal appellate court case filings have risen by 55 percent over the same 17-year time period.”
