Under a bipartisan law drafted by Sens. Coons and Cornyn and signed by President Biden in 2022, every federal judge’s annual financial disclosure report needed to be posted in the online database by yesterday. The filing deadline is May 15, and the posting deadline is 90 days later, or Aug. 13.

Unfortunately, the judiciary is far from being in compliance.

Per our research, only 1,184 of them, or 49.6 percent, were posted by this morning.

This time last year, only 26 percent were posted to the database, so 49.6 percent is a significant improvement.

About five to 10 percent of judges request an extension; those disclosures don’t need to be posted for another 90 days, i.e., Nov. 11. So when we mean “full compliance,” we’d call it a day at 90 percent. Turns out the 2024s — due online by Aug. 13, 2025 — are still only at 87.5 percent.

Here are the numbers as of this morning:

2025
1,119 annual disclosures
12 duplicates
1,107 actual annual disclosures
35 final disclosures
42 initial disclosures
1,184 total disclosures
Assuming 2,388 total judges, that’s 49.6%, or 1,204 missing disclosures

2024
2,035 annual disclosures
45 duplicates
1,990 actual annual disclosures
66 final disclosures
10 initial disclosures
2,066 total disclosures
Assuming 2,369 total judges, that’s 87.2%, or 303 missing disclosures
