Administrative Director's Report

The data shows the authorized, filled, and vacant judgeship positions in California's Superior Courts and Courts of Appeal from March 2013 to March 2015. The total number of vacancies remained relatively consistent at around 100-140 throughout the two-year period. The vacancy rate varied slightly each month, but generally stayed below 8%. The authorized number of judgeships increased over time due to conversions of Superior Court judgeships, resulting in a slight growth in filled positions. Overall, the data suggests a stable situation in terms of judicial vacancies and staffing levels during this two-year period.
