Judicial Reform: Splitting Ninth Circuit and Adding Federal Judgeships.
This Act aims to speed up federal case resolution by significantly increasing the number of district court judges across multiple states between 2025 and 2035. A major structural change involves splitting the large Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals into two separate circuits, enhancing the efficiency of the appellate process for residents in the Western states. Citizens should experience faster processing times for their federal legal matters due to reduced judicial workload.
Key points
Creation of a new Twelfth Judicial Circuit, covering states like Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington, to improve appellate efficiency in the West.
Phased addition of dozens of new district court judgeships nationwide through 2035, intended to reduce court backlogs and waiting times for decisions.
Authorization of substantial funding for new court facilities and administrative support necessary for the expanded judiciary.
