According to the 2009 Annual Report of the Director for Judicial Business of the US Courts, the following chart shows the total number of authorized judgeships by court. Article III Courts are the only courts considered part of the Judicial Branch of the US, although there are other courts within the federal court system. This chart does not include federal magistrates who work in the US District Courts, but are not afforded the same benefits as Article III judges.

Article III Federal Courts

Supreme Court of the United States.............9

US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts............179

US District Courts (judges)......................678

US Court of International Trade....................9

Article III, approximate...........................875(authorized judgeships)

There are approximately 875 authorized seats (including vacancies) in the Federal Judicial Branch of government (Article III courts). This does not include Article I tribunals, such as US Bankruptcy Courts, administrative law judges or other courts of limited jurisdiction that are part of the federal court system, but not considered part of the Judicial Branch of government.
