Judiciary Judged Good as Expansion Strives to Clear Backlog
The federal judiciary faces tests of work quality and backlog reduction as the fall term opens. Chief Justice Warren urges faster throughput, and the Judicial Conference urges circuits to declare three year pendings as judicial emergencies. Only 37 of 73 new judgeships are filled, with 17 named by Kennedy awaiting approval. The ABA praises the administration’s performance, rating many nominees well or exceptionally well, with 120 appointments amid 47 vacancies. Overall, the system is getting fresh injections of good quality.
