About the District

Southern District of Alabama — Federal Court Overview

The United States District Court for the Southern District of Alabama covers the southwestern corner of the state, with courthouse locations in Mobile (the primary courthouse, John A. Campbell United States Courthouse) and Selma. S.D. Ala. sits within the Eleventh Circuit and serves a compact but economically significant region anchored by Mobile — Alabama's only port city and the state's third-largest urban area — along with the historic Black Belt community of Selma, site of the 1965 Voting Rights marches across the Edmund Pettus Bridge. The district covers the Mobile Bay coastal zone, the Alabama River corridor, and the southwestern Alabama counties extending to the Mississippi border and the Florida Panhandle.

The district's federal criminal docket includes drug trafficking (the Port of Mobile and the I-65 corridor connecting Mobile to Birmingham generate drug cases, and the district's proximity to the Gulf Coast and the Mobile Bay waterway creates federal jurisdiction over maritime drug interdiction matters), firearms offenses, financial fraud, public corruption, and crimes arising from the port and maritime industry. The Port of Mobile — a major cargo and coal export terminal — generates federal criminal jurisdiction over customs violations and cargo crime. Mobile's history as a center of Gulf Coast trade also produces occasional federal prosecutions of financial crimes connected to the petrochemical and shipping industries. CJA panel attorneys in S.D. Ala. cover both Mobile and Selma. PanelTime™ reads any timesheet format and converts the full record to an eVoucher-ready file automatically.

CJA panel attorneys in S.D. Ala. submit compensation through the national eVoucher platform using CJA-20 vouchers. PanelTime™ is the AI billing tool for southern Alabama federal panel attorneys — converting timesheets from Mobile and Selma to eVoucher-ready files without manual service code entry.
