About the District

Middle District of Alabama — Federal Court Overview

The United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama covers the central and southeastern portions of the state, with courthouse locations in Montgomery (the primary courthouse, Frank M. Johnson Jr. Federal Building and United States Courthouse), Dothan, and Opelika. M.D. Ala. sits within the Eleventh Circuit and serves a region that includes the state capital of Montgomery — a city of profound civil rights history and home to Maxwell Air Force Base and Gunter Annex — the Wiregrass agricultural communities of Dothan near the Florida and Georgia borders, and the Auburn-Opelika university corridor in the east adjacent to Columbus, Georgia.

The district's federal criminal docket includes drug trafficking (methamphetamine and cocaine distribution cases are prominent in the Wiregrass region and the Montgomery metropolitan area), firearms offenses, financial fraud, public corruption, and crimes on military installations — Maxwell Air Force Base and Gunter Annex in Montgomery are home to Air University and significant Air Force personnel and generate federal criminal jurisdiction over crimes by military members and their dependents. The Auburn University community in Opelika generates occasional federal fraud and cybercrime matters. The M.D. Ala. is notable historically as the district where Judge Frank M. Johnson Jr. issued landmark civil rights decisions in the 1950s and 1960s; Montgomery remains a federal legal center of significance. PanelTime™ reads any timesheet format and converts the full record to an eVoucher-ready file automatically.
