Description

The Trump Administration’s appointment of over 200 federal judges has transformed the federal bench, and both political parties have made judicial appointments a campaign issue. This presentation discusses the impact of judicial appointments by diving into the numbers, evaluating the shifting balance on federal courts, and revealing how the politics of judicial appointments have left some jurisdictions with longstanding vacancies (and overloaded court dockets), even as record numbers of judges are appointed elsewhere. The presentation also highlights specific ways in which the energy industry is affected by judicial appointments and what to expect based on the potential outcomes of the upcoming presidential and senatorial elections.
