This is a comprehensive list of all Article III and Article IV United States federal judges appointed by President Joe Biden, as well as a partial list of Article I federal judicial appointments, excluding appointments to the District of Columbia judiciary. [1]
As of December 11,2024 [update] , the United States Senate has confirmed 233 Article III judges nominated by Biden: one associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, 45 judges for the United States courts of appeals, 185 judges for the United States district courts and two judges for the United States Court of International Trade. There are nine nominations awaiting Senate action: three for the courts of appeals and six for the district courts. There are two vacancies on the U.S. courts of appeals and 32 vacancies on the U.S. district courts, [2] [3] as well as nine announced vacancies that may occur before the end of Biden's term (three for the courts of appeals and six for district courts). [Note 1] [4] Biden has not made any recess appointments to the federal courts.
Biden had the most Article III judicial nominees confirmed during a president's first year in office since Ronald Reagan in 1981. [5] Biden appointed the most federal judges during the first two years of any presidency since John F. Kennedy. [6] Biden reached the milestone of 200 federal judicial confirmations on May 22, 2024. This rate of judicial confirmations exceeded the pace of Donald Trump in his first term. [7]
Regarding Article I courts, as of November 14,2024 [update] , the Senate has confirmed 17 judges nominated by Biden: five to the United States Court of Federal Claims, five to the United States Court of Military Commission Review, one to the United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces and six to the United States Tax Court. On March 2, 2021, Biden designated Elaine D. Kaplan as Chief Judge of the Court of Federal Claims. [8]
Regarding Article IV territorial courts, as of April 16,2024 [update] , there are two vacancies. The Senate has confirmed one Article IV judge nominated by Biden.
