Credited from: REUTERS

  • Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter appointed a record number of judges, significantly diversifying the federal judiciary during his term.
  • He appointed 262 life-tenured judges, including groundbreaking figures such as Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer.
  • Before Carter, only 8 women and 31 people of color served as federal judges; during his presidency, he appointed 40 women and 57 people of color.
  • Carter's judicial advancement was supported by the passage of the Omnibus Judgeship Act of 1978, which increased federal judgeships.
  • Despite later presidents appointing more judges over multiple terms, Carter's single-term record remains unmatched in terms of diversity.
