Shortage of judges hits federal ninth circuit backlog
The U S Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco faces a record backlog with about 3 000 appeals awaiting decision and civil cases taking an average of 18 months to resolve. Chief Judge James R Browning says there is a need for more judges to prevent cases from never reaching court. The 9th Circuit covers California Oregon Washington Nevada Montana Idaho Arizona Alaska Hawaii and Guam and is described as the busiest and slowest in the nation. Figures show the 4th and 9th Circuits are the most burdened with workload and delays.
