Our federal courts are facing a vacancy crisis like never before.
The number of judicial vacancies across the federal bench has averaged 142 so far this year. The only year that came close to this was 1991, which had an average of 138 vacancies—but that was shortly after Congress created 85 new judicial positions.
More than half of the current vacancies are designated as “judicial emergencies†by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts because of their longevity and their impact on the caseloads of other judges. This is a real vacancy crisis.
