Oltre ai giudici della Corte Suprema, Clinton ha nominato 66 giudici alle Corti d'Appello e 305 giudici alle Corti distrettuali. Con il numero di 373, è secondo dopo [[Ronald Reagan]] per numero di nomine di giudici. Sulle nomine ci sono state delle controversie, poiché 69 dei giudici federali da lui nominati non vennero considerate dalla Commissione Giustizia del Senato, controllato dai Repubblicani, e lasciate in sospeso. In totale, solo l'84% delle sue nomine sono state confermate.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fjc.gov/public/home.nsf/hisj|title=Biographical Directory of Federal Judges|publisher=[[Federal Judicial Center]]|accessdate=August 29, 2011}}</ref>

Mentre era in procinto di lasciare l'incarico, un sondaggio congiunto di CNN, USA TODAY e Gallup ha rivelato che il 45% degli americani lo avrebbe tenuto per un altro mandato. E mentre il 55% riteneva che "potesse ancora dare importanti contributi" e che quindi "dovesse rimanere attivo nella vita pubblica", il 68% affermò che l'avrebbe ricordato per i suoi scandali privati, e alla domanda: "Pensi che in generale Bill Clinton sia onesto e degno di fiducia?" rispose di no. Il 47% degli intervistati si identificarono come suoi sostenitori. La stessa percentuale affermò che l'avrebbe ricordato come un presidente "eccezionale" o comunque "sopra la media", mentre il 22% lo classificò come "scadente" o "sotto la media".<ref name = "CNN-Clinton-gone">{{cite news|author=Keating Holland |url=http://archives.cnn.com/2001/ALLPOLITICS/stories/01/10/cnn.poll.clinton/ |title=Poll: Majority of Americans glad Clinton is leaving office |publisher=CNN |date=January 10, 2001}}</ref>
