*Adjusted Filings per Panel and Weighted Filings per Judgeship are Calendar Year Data | |||||||
A judicial emergency is defined as the following: | |||||||
Circuit Court | |||||||
|
|||||||
|
|||||||
District Court | |||||||
|
|||||||
|
|||||||
|
|||||||
(1), In determining judgeship needs in the U.S. district courts, the Judicial Conference uses weighted filings | |||||||
as a means of accounting for differences in the time required for judges to resolve various types of civil and | |||||||
criminal actions. Rather than counting each case as a single case, weights are applied based on the nature of | |||||||
cases. For example, cases involving a defaulted student loan are counted as 0.031 for each case and patent cases | |||||||
are counted as 1.9 cases. The criminal weights are applied on a per-defendant basis. The total for | |||||||
"weighted filings per judgeship" is the sum of all weights assigned to civil cases and criminal defendants, | |||||||
divided by the number of authorized judgeships. | |||||||
(2), In the courts of appeals, adjusted filings are used in a similar manner to weighted filings in the district | |||||||
courts. Adjusted filings eliminate reinstated cases and weight pro se appeals as one-third of a case. All other | |||||||
cases have a weight of one. The total for "adjusted filings per panel" is adjusted filings divided by the number | |||||||
of authorized three-judge panels (authorized judgeships/3). |
