Abstract

The article focuses on the proposed expansion of federal appeals courts in 2009 in the U.S. The expansion was proposed by Patrick J. Leahy, the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman, who wants the addition of nine permanent new judgeships for the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeals and 43 new permanent judgeships for district courts.
