U.S. District Court Judges Merge File

This merge file can be used to combine detailed biographical data on U.S. District Court Judges from the Federal Judicial Center (fjc.gov/history/home.nsf/page/export.html) with data on cases form the U.S. Court of Appeals Database Project (wmich.edu/nsf-coa/). The file includes the unique identifiers used by each group to make it easy for researchers to combine the two data sources together. Note that this is a merge file for U.S. District Court Judges only.
