The policymaking body for the federal judiciary issued new recommendations Tuesday for adding judgeships around the country including six seats in the district court that handles criminal and civil cases in San Diego and Imperial counties.
In all, the Judicial Conference of the United States is seeking 79 new permanent judgeships a slightly larger number than previously proposed in 2019.
The positions must be authorized by Congress, and judges recently testified in a House subcommittee hearing that the courts have been overwhelmed for years by rising caseloads. New judgeships haven’t been approved for the Southern District of California since 2003.
Previously, the Conference had recommended five seats for the Southern District of California, so the new recommendation adds one more.
