List US federal judges who sat on a given federal court — e.g. the Supreme Court, the Ninth Circuit, the Southern District of New York — from the Federal Judicial Center directory. Filter to judges currently in active service, currently serving (active or senior status), or everyone since the court was created. Returns name, title, appointing president and party, commission date and service status per judge. Answers “who are the active judges on the Fifth Circuit”, “how many judges has SDNY had”.
