About the District

Western District of Kentucky — Federal Court Overview

The United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky covers the western half of the state and holds court in Louisville (Gene Snyder United States Courthouse), Bowling Green, Owensboro, and Paducah. Louisville is the primary courthouse and handles the majority of federal criminal appointments in the district. W.D. Ky. sits within the Sixth Circuit and serves a geographically diverse region ranging from the Louisville metropolitan area — the largest city in Kentucky — to the Purchase region in the far western tip of the state where the Ohio and Tennessee Rivers converge.

The district's federal criminal docket includes drug trafficking (Louisville sits at a key distribution junction on I-65, generating significant heroin, methamphetamine, and fentanyl cases), firearms offenses, financial fraud, public corruption, and child exploitation. Paducah handles cases from the Jackson Purchase area and western Kentucky counties bordering Missouri, Tennessee, and Illinois. The district also sees cases arising from Fort Knox, a major Army installation located southwest of Louisville. CJA panel attorneys in W.D. Ky. handle cases across a large geographic footprint, often traveling between the district's four courthouse locations. PanelTime™ reads any timesheet format and converts the full record to an eVoucher-ready file automatically.
