Colorado needs two additional trial court judges on its seven-member court, the policymaking body for the federal judiciary affirmed on Tuesday.
The U.S. Judicial Conference, which consists of members from all of the circuit courts of appeals nationwide, released a proposal to add 79 federal judgeships, 77 of which would be at the U.S. District Court level throughout the country. Congress last approved a comprehensive bill to add judges in 1990, and most recently added a trial court judgeship in Colorado in 1984, when the state s population was roughly half of what it is today.
The Judicial Conference s recommendation for Colorado has held constant since 2019.

CAPITAL REGION, N.Y. â U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced that the recently-signed American Rescue Plan includes $480,249,023 that will guide upstate New Yorkâs pandemic-battered airports and transit systems to lift off. Specifically, upstate airports will receive $84,410,140, and upstate transit systems will receive $395,838,883 of the total amount.
Schumer said that as the COVID-19 crisis extends beyond what was initially estimated, impacting the air travel industry and public transportation systems for months on end, the federal funding allocated for them in the American Rescue Plan will help transportation systems keep their wheels turning while New York recovers from the pandemic and returns to ânormal.
