Reporting about a federal trial court or appellate court is quite
unlike reporting on the other two branches of government. Among the
most notable differences are that some legal terms are hard to
understand; there are many rules; and federal judges work largely
alone. This book provides a guide for journalists on federal
courts. It also provides an analytic overview of the professional
experiences and qualifications of those individuals who are
currently serving as active U.S. circuit court judges; provides a
statistical analysis of the time from nomination to confirmation
for U.S. circuit and district court nominees from Presidents Reagan
to Obama; identifies possible consequences of a protracted
confirmation process for circuit and district court nominees; and
identifies policy options the Senate might consider to shorten the
length of time from nomination to confirmation for lower federal
court nominees.
