The Judicial Conference of the United States is recommending that Congress create new district and court of appeals judgeships to meet workload demands in certain courts. The recommendation, approved Tuesday by the federal Judiciary’s national policy-making body, asks Congress to create two permanent judgeships in the courts of appeals and 66 permanent district court judgeships, convert seven temporary district court judgeships to permanent status, and extend two existing temporary district court judgeships for an additional five years.
