Federal courts across the nation face a worsening shortage of Article III judges, resulting in countless Americans suffering delays in the resolution of their legal matters. The Southern District of Indiana is joining the push for Congress to pass the JUDGES Act, a bill that would add 66 district judgeships, two new circuit judgeships, and convert or extend certain existing temporary judgeships to improve access to justice and to meet increasing case filings in the federal courts. One of those additional district judgeships would be in the Southern District of Indiana, where the weighted caseload in the year ending June 30, 2024, ranked nineteenth in the United States and third in the Seventh Circuit.
