JUDGES Act of 2025

Bill 119 HR 1929, also known as the "District Judgeship Act of 2021," aims to authorize additional district judges for the district courts and convert temporary judgeships into permanent positions. The bill seeks to address the growing caseloads in the federal district courts by increasing the number of judgeships available.

Specifically, the bill proposes to create 65 new permanent district judgeships across the country. These new judgeships would be allocated based on the workload and needs of each individual district court. Additionally, the bill would convert 8 temporary judgeships into permanent positions, providing more stability and resources for these courts.

The goal of this legislation is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the federal district courts by ensuring that there are enough judges to handle the increasing number of cases. By authorizing additional judgeships and converting temporary positions into permanent ones, the bill aims to reduce backlogs, expedite the judicial process, and ensure that all individuals have timely access to justice. Overall, Bill 119 HR 1929 seeks to strengthen the federal judiciary and enhance the administration of justice in the United States by providing the necessary resources and support for the district courts to effectively carry out their duties.
