Excerpt: “The Judicial Conference of the United States today agreed to recommend to Congress the creation of new district and court of appeals judgeships as the Judiciary faces a worsening shortage of Article III judges and caseloads continue to mount. Approved by the federal Judiciary’s national policy-making body at its biannual meeting in Washington, the Judiciary asked Congress to create two judgeships in the courts of appeals and 69 judgeships in district courts, where the need is greatest. District court filings have grown by 30 percent since 1990, when the last comprehensive judgeship bill was enacted. Since 1991, the overall number of authorized district court judgeships increased by only four percent.”
