Daugherty Urges 18 Federal Judges In Large Initiative
Attorney General Daugherty recommended to President Harding and to the judiciary committees the creation of 18 federal judges at large to relieve congestion. The judges would serve where needed, not assigned to a specific circuit, as cases mounted nationwide. He cited 141,000 pending cases on June 20, 1921, up from 118,148 a year earlier, and warned that civil growth and postwar factors will prevent relief without expansion of the federal bench.
