Lets federal appeals judges live anywhere and provides them office space.
This bill would let federal appeals court judges live anywhere in the U.S. They would no longer have to live in the area they serve. The bill would also make sure these judges, and judges for the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, get office space and support services near their homes.
Today, federal appeals court judges must live within the geographic area they serve, and judges for the U.S. Court of Federal Claims have specific residence and duty station rules. After this bill, federal appeals court judges would be able to live anywhere they choose, and both groups of judges would receive office space and support services either in Washington, D.C. (if they live within 50 miles) or in their local area.
