Senior Judge

Senior Judge in the United States

Senior Judge Definition in the context of the Federal Court System

An Article III judge who has retired from active duty but continues to perform some judicial duties, usually maintaining a reduced caseload. Commonly referred to as “senior status.” A judge who has not taken senior status may be referred to as an “active judge,” although the distinction may be misleading as many senior judges maintain full caseloads.
