List of Judges of the United States Tax Court

Further information: United States Tax Court

The United States Tax Court is composed of 19 members appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate.[1] Reappointment, when requested by a Tax Court judge[2] is generally pro forma regardless of the political party of the appointing President and the political party of the re-appointing (sitting) President. By statute, Congress has granted to the President the power to remove the judges of the U.S. Tax Court "for inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office...." [3]

In addition, the Chief Judge may appoint a number of Special Trial Judges, who serve a function comparable to magistrate judges in the United States district courts.

The 19-member court currently has one vacancy.
