Senior judges
Senior status is a classification for federal judges at all levels who are semi-retired. Senior judges are Article III judges who, having met eligibility through age and service requirements, continue to serve on federal courts while typically hearing a reduced number of cases. Some senior judges, however, elect to retain a full caseload after taking senior status. According to the Administrative Office of U.S. Courts, senior judges "typically handle about 15 percent of the federal courts' workload annually."[1] The date listed under assumed office in the table below reflects the date that the judge took senior status.

Former chief judges
In order to qualify for the office of chief judge in an Article III circuit or district court, or on the United States Court of International Trade, a judge must be in active service and hold seniority over the court's commissioned judges who are 64 years of age or under, have served one year or more, and have not previously served as chief judge.[2]
In the event that no judge on the court meets those qualifications, the youngest judge in regular active service aged 65 years or more and who has served as a judge for one year or more shall become chief judge. If no judge meets those qualifications, the judge holding seniority in active service who has not served as chief before shall become the chief judge.[3][4][5]
The chief judge serves for a term of seven years until another judge becomes eligible to serve in the position. No judge is permitted to serve as chief judge after reaching the age of 70 years unless no other judge is qualified to serve.[3][4][5]
Unlike the chief justice of the United States, a chief judge returns to active service after the expiration of their term and does not create a vacancy on the court by the fact of their promotion.[2][3][4][5]
On the United States Court of Federal Claims, the chief judge is selected by the president of the United States. The judge must be less than 70 years of age. A chief may serve until they reach age 70 or until another judge is designated by the president as the new chief judge. If the president selects a new chief judge, the former chief judge may continue active service on the court for the remainder of their appointed term.[6]

History
Court history
The Tenth Circuit was established on February 28, 1929, under Tenth Circuit Reorganization Act of 1929, which broke the then-Eighth Circuit into the Eighth Circuit and the Tenth Circuit. All of the judges who resided in the newly created Tenth Circuit were transferred to the new appellate court. Over time, eight additional seats were added to the circuit, resulting in a total of 12 seats.[7] The court's current jurisdiction contains 560,625 square miles or roughly 20% of the total U.S. landmass. For a full history of the Tenth Circuit, please see the Tenth Judicial Circuit Historical Society's Official website.
Judicial posts
The following table highlights the development of judicial posts for the Tenth Circuit:[7]
Year | Statute | Total Seats |
February 28, 1929 | 45 Stat. 1346 | 4 |
August 3, 1949 | 63 Stat. 493 | 5 |
May 19, 1961 | 75 Stat. 80 | 6 |

December 1, 1990 | 104 Stat. 5089 | 12 |
Reversal rate
Since 2007, SCOTUS has released opinions in 1,250 cases. Of those, it reversed a lower court decision 891 times (71.3 percent) while affirming a lower court decision 347 times (27.8 percent).
In that time period, SCOTUS has decided 46 cases originating from the Tenth Circuit, affirming in 17 cases and reversing in 29 cases, for a reversal rate of 63 percent. As of the end of the 2023 term, of the Article III circuits—the ordinal circuits, the D.C. Circuit, and the Federal Circuit—the court with the lowest rate of overturned decisions is the Fourth Circuit at 62.1 percent.
Noteworthy cases
The following were noteworthy cases heard before this court.
• States cannot require citizenship documents to register to vote (2014) | Click for summary→ |
---|---|
On November 10, 2014, the Tenth Circuit struck down Kansas and Arizona laws requiring individuals to show citizenship documents when registering to vote. The ruling was an affirmation of action taken by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, which blocked the states from requiring those documents and led both states to sue in federal court.
The federal court found that the agency exceeded its authority in blocking the states from requiring citizenship documents. Th ethree-judge panel of the Tenth Circuit, consisting of Judges Jerome Holmes, Carlos Lucero and Gregory Alan Phillips, said that the states lacked the authority to require the federal government to include citizenship documents as a requirement on the voter registration form, which the states argued the agency had to do in compliance with the states’ own laws. Further, Judge Lucero, writing for the panel, said that the states failed to show that requiring proof of citizenship decreased fraudulent voting. Articles: |
• Utah same-sex marriage ruling upheld (2014) Judge(s):Paul Kelly, Carlos Lucero and Jerome Holmes (Kitchen v. Herbert, 13-4178) | Click for summary→ | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Judge Carlos Lucero wrote the opinion in the appeal of Kitchen v. Herbert, a case that involved a same-sex marriage in Utah. The Tenth Circuit ruled 2-1 in favor of District of Utah's ruling that ended the ban on same-sex marriage on the grounds that it violated the Fourteenth Amendment's equal protection clause. Judge Lucero wrote and Jerome Holmes concurred:
Judge Paul Kelly dissented on the point that marriage was a fundamental right. He wrote:

• Tenth Circuit refuses stay on injunction against online streaming company Aero (2014) | Click for summary→ |
---|---|
Aereo, a company that retransmits television signals to subscribers, was enjoined by federal Judge Dale Kimball from operating in six states in February 2014. Judge Kimball found that Aereo was “indistinguishable” from a cable provider and should have the proper licenses necessary to stream broadcast network signals to subscribers. The injunction covered six states: Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Kansas, and Oklahoma.
The company sought to have the injunction lifted with a preliminary stay until after trial by appealing to the Tenth Circuit. Judges Mary Briscoe and Robert Bacharach, the majority of a three-judge panel, refused to lift the injunction, stating that Aereo did not sufficiently show that it would likely succeed at trial, one of the requirements to order a stay. Further, the Tenth Circuit judges found no other factors that weighed in favor of staying the injunction. Judge Harris Hartz dissented from the majority. Articles: |
• Horse slaughterhouses may reopen prior to resolution of appeal (2013) Judge(s):Gregory Alan Phillips and David Ebel (Front Range Equine Rescue, et al v. Vilsack, et al, 13-2187) | Click for summary→ |
---|---|
On December 13, 2013, Judges Gregory Alan Phillips and David Ebel of the Tenth Circuit denied an emergency motion filed by animal rights groups for an injunction seeking to halt horse slaughterhouses from resuming operations for the first time since 2007. Plaintiffs requested a stay on those activities pending the final resolution of their appeal but "failed to meet their burden," according to the judges' decision. In the underlying case, animal rights groups sought to prevent the slaughter of horses in New Mexico, Missouri, and Iowa, claiming that the U.S. Department of Agriculture issued inspection permits to three slaughterhouses but failed to prepare various documents essential to determining the environmental impact of their intended operations, in violation of the National Environmental Policy Act. Chief Judge Christina Armijo of the United States District Court for the District of New Mexico temporarily enjoined the slaughter of horses while considering the case but later dismissed the proceedings with prejudice. The plaintiff animal rights groups appealed to the Tenth Circuit, and on November 5, 2013, the appeals court issued a temporary stay of Judge Armijo's decision pending further review. About one month later, Judges Phillips and Ebel lifted that stay, citing the plaintiffs' likelihood of success in the final resolution of their appeal, making way for horse slaughterhouses to begin operations.[10][11] | |
• Court sides with Abercrombie in religious discrimination case (2013) Judge(s):Paul Kelly, David Ebel, and Jerome Holmes (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. Abercrombie & Fitch Stores, Inc., 11-5110) | Click for summary→ |
---|---|
On October 1, 2013, the Tenth Circuit vacated a trial court summary judgment ruling in a suit filed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) on behalf of a Muslim job applicant after the clothing store Abercrombie & Fitch (A&F) declined to hire her because she wore a headscarf. Judge Jerome Holmes wrote for the majority, joined by Judge Paul Kelly. Judge David Ebel wrote separately, concurring in part and dissenting in part. In the underlying case, the plaintiff Samantha Elauf interviewed for a job at A&F while wearing a religious headscarf but did not specifically inform her interviewer that she wore it for a religious purpose. The interviewer assumed that it was worn for a religious purpose. Elauf was not hired because her headscarf violated A&F's dress code. In the ruling, Holmes said that the trial court's decision was erroneous because there could be no religious discrimination without notification of the need for a religious accommodation. Here, because Elauf failed to tell her interviewer that she would need accommodation for her religious headscarf, the EEOC would not have been unable to conclusively establish that A&F had actual notice of her religious needs. In his separate opinion, Ebel agreed that the trial court's decision was incorrect but argued that the question of discrimination should have been sent to a jury.[12] The Supreme Court overturned the ruling in October 2015, finding that accommodation was not the issue but rather if Elauf's headscarf was a "motivating factor" in deciding against hiring her. Justice Antonin Scalia wrote for the 8-1 majority, " “[A]n employer who acts with the motive of avoiding accommodation may violate [the law] even if he has no more than an unsubstantiated suspicion that accommodation would be needed.”[13] | |

Federal courthouse
The Tenth Circuit is located in the Byron White U.S. Courthouse in Denver. The courthouse was built between 1910 and 1916 replacing a previous building. The exterior of the building uses local Colorado Yule marble, the same material used on the Lincoln Memorial in Washington. Originally, the building held all of the federal agencies located in Denver. Over time, as the federal agencies grew, the building came to be occupied by only the Post Office. The building was expanded and renovated in 1994 to rehouse the federal courthouse, with the current value of the building estimated at $200 million.[14]
About United States Court of Appeals
The United States courts of appeals (or circuit courts) are the intermediate appellate courts of the United States federal courts. The court of appeals was originally created in 1891 and has grown to include thirteen courts.
A court of appeals decides appeals from any of the district courts that are in its federal judicial circuit. The appeals courts also can hear appeals from some administrative agencies. Decisions of the federal appeals courts can, in turn, be appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States.
There are thirteen United States courts of appeals. In addition, there are other federal courts (such as the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, which hears appeals in court-martial cases) that have "Court of Appeals" in their titles.
The eleven "numbered" circuits and the D.C. Circuit are defined by geography. The thirteenth court of appeal is the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. This court has nationwide jurisdiction over certain types of appeals based on what the underlying legal case is about.
All of the courts of appeals also hear appeals from some administrative agency decisions and rulemaking. The largest share of this type of case is heard by the D.C. Circuit. The Federal Circuit hears appeals from specialized trial courts, primarily the Court of International Trade and the Court of Federal Claims, as well as appeals from the district courts in patent cases and certain other specialized matters.
Federal circuit court judges are appointed for life. They are paid approximately $179,500 annually. At the age of 65, a federal judge may choose to retire with his or her full salary. Judges may also choose to go on senior status at age 65, if they have served actively for 15 years.[15]
Appointments by president
The chart below shows the number of appeals court judges confirmed by the U.S. Senate through November 1 of the fourth year of each president's term in office. At this point in the term, President Trump had the most appeals court appointments with 53.
