List of United States federal judges who died in active service (1920–1969)
From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki
The following is a list of United States Article Three federal judges who died while in active service from 1920 to 1970.[1] While Article Three of the United States Constitution provides that "Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour", thereby securing lifetime appointments, in practice a substantial majority of federal judges have resigned, retired, or otherwise left active service prior to their death.[2] Beginning in 1919, the retirement of judges from active duty was facilited by legislation creating senior status, in which a judge could retire from full-time service while continuing to receive full pay for engaging in a lighter amount of work.[3] Historically, judges have often sought to time their retirement from the bench so that their replacement can be named by a president of the same political party; the death of a judge in office therefore presents an uncommon situation where this timing is out of the judge's control.[2] In the modern era, fewer than 9% of judges die in office.[2]
In some cases, judges have been appointed to one court, and then reassigned by operation of law to another court when the original court is subdivided, merged, or otherwise reconfigured. In other cases, judges initially appointed to one court have later been elevated to a higher court. This list indicates only the placement of the judge at the time of their death. For judges nominated by different presidents to different judicial offices, the list indicates only the last president to successfully nominate them to a judicial office.
