I'm 75-90% sure federal judges are on salary, and are not paid by the case. At least I hope this is so.

- DannyBee 11y agoFederal judges are salaried and appointed for life except in cases of impeachment.
- brianwawok 11y agoBut the number of judges is based on caseload. If they changed something so caseload fell by 75%, do you think some judges might lose their job?
- schoen 11y agoNope, not in the Federal court system. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_federal_judge#Tenure_and_salary https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_federal_judge#Te... No Federal judge has ever been fired due to a reduction in the number of positions on the judge's court. (It's quite possible that a decreased caseload could result in fewer new judicial confirmations, but that affects would-be judges, not presently-serving judges.)
