Current vacancies
According to U.S. Courts, there are 50 current Article III vacancies in the federal judiciary of 870 total Article III judgeships. Including non-Article III judges from the United States Court of Federal Claims and the United States territorial courts, there are 51 vacancies out of 890 active federal judicial positions.[1]
Article III judges serve on courts authorized by Article III of the Constitution, which created and enumerated the powers of the judiciary. They are appointed for life terms. A vacancy occurs when a judge resigns, retires, takes senior status, or passes away. In the event of a scheduled upcoming vacancy, the president may submit a nomination to the U.S. Senate prior to the vacancy taking effect.
There are five key steps in the vacancy process: a presidential nomination, a U.S. Senate committee hearing, a vote by a U.S. Senate committee to report the nominee to the full Senate, a confirmation vote by the U.S. Senate, and a confirmed nominee taking their judicial oath and receiving their judicial commission.
HIGHLIGHTS
The tables below detail the current vacancies within the federal courts system along with the percentage of seats vacant by court. Ballotpedia considers a vacancy to be filled once the confirmed nominee has received commission. The colors in each row are based on the percentage of vacant seats. The colors correlate as follows:
- Green indicates there are no vacancies on a specific court.
- Blue indicates that the percentage of vacant seats is 1 to 9 percent.
- Yellow indicates that the percentage of vacant seats is 10 to 24 percent.
- Orange indicates that the percentage of vacant seats is 25 to 40 percent.
- Red indicates that the percentage of vacant seats is above 40 percent.
Note: A district's coloration is based on its percentage of vacant seats. A district may be a different color than the legend would indicate if its percentage is being rounded up to the nearest whole number.
