Court Vacancies
More than 195 million people live in a community with a federal courtroom vacancy. This crisis creates a backlog of cases that undermines our system of justice and makes it difficult for most Americans to have their case heard in a timely manner.
About Us
No matter the issue — voting rights, employment discrimination, environmental regulation, health care, immigration — our federal judiciary plays an important role in the lives of hardworking Americans.
Taking Action
