U.S. Senate approves bill to create 66 new federal judgeships

The U.S. Senate unanimously approved a bipartisan proposal that would add 66 new judges to understaffed federal district courts around the country over the next decade, which if enacted would be the first major expansion of the judiciary since 1990.

The bill, which passed by unanimous consent, is designed to address longstanding requests from the judiciary for help to deal with the rising caseloads by adding judges in 25 district courts in 13 states including California, Texas and Delaware. The bill now goes to the U.S. House of Representatives.

In other judiciary news this week, President Joe Biden’s nominees to the 1st and 6th Circuits advanced to a full Senate vote. And on Wednesday, Ryan Park, a nominee to the 4th Circuit, faced a warning from a Republican senator that he had lined up support to block his nomination.
