I split the existing table into two: current judges and former judges. This allows us to remove extraneous column headings (i.e. "reason for termination" for active judges). I also added "Title" to the active judge list and birth/death years.
Let me know if you like this change. If so, I'll begin work on the other circuits. DLJessup, I noticed that you have some good info on your user page. -- PrinceValium 10:46, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
In each of the “United States Court of Appeals for the X Circuit” articles, there are multiple links to the biography of each judge: one in the current and former judges tables, one in the succession tables, and possibly one in the chiefs table. Wikipedia's guidelines frown on redundant wikilinks in the same article. Moreover, we have had a few synchronization issues recently in which an editor will update only one of the wikilinks to match with a newly created article, leaving the others as redlinks. Thus I plan to eliminate the wikilinks in the succession and chiefs tables. Please let me know if you have an issue with this.

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_Puerto_Rico, the first circuit hasn't had jurisdiction since 1961. Is this correct? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.236.160.78 ( talk • contribs) 05:50, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Neither the 'history', the 'article' nor anywhere in wikispace (that I've looked so far) mentions the present or previous 'Justice Circuit Assignments'. This material should probably be included in a separate 'article' with intro and links to the several courts and justices 'articles'. There is an extensive and complicated history on this, considering all the justices there have been and how the compositions of the federal judicial circuits have changed. Ex: After Associate Justice Alito's appointment, circuits were assigned as follows[2]:
For the D.C. Circuit, John G. Roberts, Jr.
For the First Circuit, David H. Souter
For the Second Circuit, Ruth Bader Ginsburg
For the Third Circuit, David H. Souter
For the Fourth Circuit, John G. Roberts, Jr.
For the Fifth Circuit, Antonin G. Scalia
For the Sixth Circuit, John Paul Stevens
For the Seventh Circuit, John Paul Stevens
For the Eighth Circuit, Samuel A. Alito, Jr.
For the Ninth Circuit, Anthony M. Kennedy
For the Tenth Circuit, Stephen G. Breyer
For the Eleventh Circuit, Clarence Thomas
For the Federal Circuit, John G. Roberts, Jr.
I'm still trying to find out the assignments since Sotomayor was appointed.
