A bill to increase federal judicial compensation by 29 percent has stalled in the House of Representatives.

If Speaker Nancy Pelosi decides to move the measure before the summer recess, through the efforts of Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and Rep. Harold Berman, chairman of the House Subcommittee on the Courts, the Internet and Intellectual Property, it may reach the Senate and have a chance of being enacted. But the subcommittee has been silent about the bill of late.
