Welcome to The Judiciary at Noon! Take a break from work to get an update on the oft-neglected third branch of the United States government, the judicial branch.

The series covers any updates to the federal judiciary, including any new judges confirmed, any deaths, resignations, or retirements from the courts, and any new vacancies that have occurred. It includes political analysis at the very end. All information spans the previous week.

Confirmations

No new judges were confirmed for the week spanning June 14 to 20, 2024.

Vacancies

No new vacancies occurred on the federal judiciary for the week spanning June 21 to 27, 2024. 72 vacancies remain on the federal judiciary, a number unchanged from a week ago.

Retirements, Deaths, and Resignations

No judges died, retired, or resigned for the week spanning June 14 to 20, 2024.

Analysis

Absolutely nothing of note occurred this week on the federal judiciary.

The only thing of note is that the Supreme Court has released some consequential decisions in the last ten days. Perhaps the most important is their delay on whether former President Donald Trump is immune from criminal prosecution.

Enjoy your summers, folks!
