These include justices of the Supreme Court of the United States and judges of United States courts of appeals, district courts, and the now-obsolete circuit courts.

The ''Biographical Directory'' is available online in searchable format. Biographical information provided for each judge includes birth and death dates, educational background, a summary of the judge's professional career and a summary of the judge's federal judicial service (including dates of nomination, confirmation, and acceptance of commission.) Where available, links to the location of the judge's manuscript papers, biographical sources, and oral history sources are also provided.

As a non-copyrighted work of the United States government, the ''Biographical Directory'' is in the public domain within the United States.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Biographical Directory of Article III Federal Judges: About the Directory|url=https://www.fjc.gov/history/judges/biographical-directory-article-iii-federal-judges-about-directory|url-status=live|access-date=December 1, 2021|website=Federal Judicial Center|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170506194032/https://www.fjc.gov/history/judges/biographical-directory-article-iii-federal-judges-about-directory |archive-date=2017-05-06 }}</ref>
