Federal courts would get 65 new judges to help clear case backlogs.
This bill would add 64 permanent and 1 temporary judge to federal district courts across many states over the next decade. This aims to speed up cases for millions of Americans by clearing the large backlog of cases that has grown since 2003.
Today, federal district courts have not seen new judgeships created since 2003, leading to a 30 percent increase in case filings and nearly 687,000 pending cases. If this bill passes, it would add 64 permanent and 1 temporary federal district judgeships across various states between 2029 and 2039. This aims to reduce backlogs and speed up court processes. It would also increase transparency by making judicial resource recommendations publicly available.
