each have one Article IV territorial court. These courts are called "district courts" and exercise the same jurisdiction as district courts; however, Article IV territorial courts differ from Article III district courts in that territorial courts have judges who serve ten-year terms rather than lifetime tenures. As of 2021, Congress has authorized 677 district judgeships, including 667 permanent judgeships and 10 temporary judgeships, though the number of "current" judges will be higher than 677 because of some judges electing senior status. Only active, non-senior-status judges may fill one of the 677 authorized judgeships. In addition, a small number of judges are concurrently appointed to more than one judgeship. While some judges with senior status are currently inactive, these judges are not yet retired and may return to actively hearing cases at any time. As of November 12, 2021, there are 71 Article III district court vacancies with 26 nominations awaiting
