Bipartisan Senators Propose Legislation to Expand Judge Pool for Federal Courts

Senators Chris Coons and Ashley Moody have introduced legislation to remove the residency requirement for judges on the Court of Federal Claims and the Federal Circuit, allowing judges to live outside of Washington, D.C. The proposal aims to broaden the pool of qualified judges and enhance the courts' representation of the nation. Legal experts have expressed support for the bill, while some critics raise concerns about potential travel costs and judicial collegiality.
